bearded silkie vs non-bearded silkie pics?

[Sonoran Silkies]

There is no overall "preference" towards bearded birds. Yes, they are more common, and more popular, but there is no increase in their intrinsic value--other than individual's personal preferences..

Very easy to tell the difference as chicks.

Thanks so much for the pics!

I am pretty sure I got the bearded silkies.

My black silkie is still SO tiny! they are 3wks, and she is half the size of my while silkies....

Did your chick ever grow a beard? I am hoping both my silkies grow some, if they don't I'm still happy I have them the beard makes them 20 times cuter though~

Are my babies growing beards ???

Looks like it to me! Do you have a variety of silkies?

 

[Tania413]

No, just these two babies given to me when I bought my reds, they've been living in my living room for months after I found out they were still too young to be outside
