Beaker, as we have named her is on the right. She is straight silkie, but I have 2 frizzle (or a sizzle lol the breeder wasn't much help).

Such a cuttie. Looks like she's doing well. And that stinks, you'd think they would know what they're selling :/

I had one this year go the other way. I knew Monster Truck (my 3 year old named her) was a little roo, too pink too quick and too tall, but she lays beautiful brown eggs. Even when I get them wrong its fun to guess.

Yeah that’s true it is definitely funny when the surprise you and lay a egg or start crowing but I love them anyway rooster or hen

I'm not real sure on the age. It's completly feathered out except the underside of the wing and about the same size as my 11ish week old D'uccle. But it's also got a bad case of cross-beak which could have stunted or slowed it.

My husband heard "free" and had it before i could ask questions.

There is a good article on my pet chicken that explains the differences!

She claims her son didn't label the eggs. Just like she didn't know she was giving me a cross beak chick for free lol.

How do you sex a silkie? I hear it's notoriously difficult

Depends, most just like other breeds start showing signs. Combs, waddles, feathers. I'm not calling people liers but it's not impossible to tell. My black is bigger than the ready and comb is getting wide.

You should start your own thread, and it looks like possible Easter Egger Pullet but hard to tell for sure from these pics

I’m still kind of lost here and I went to forums then searched sex and breed and then replied
I thought I was making my own thread in that forum lol
