no, the tibetian is the older one, the one that you think is white looks like it will be an italian, gold. white would not have the other colors in the feathers.


spring, it is sprunging!
my dog is serious bizness when stealing chicken food

ah i see. the tibetian one is the injured one (got beat up by his old coop mates) listening to the sounds and the colors i think he is a he and idk about the younger one yet

I read somewhere that dark bills on Tibetans was a male trait. Given the numbers you've seen Chiqita, it's an old wives tail?

Amy, I'm still chuckling over your scary dog, ours is indifferent also. It is nice not having to make sure they stay separate.

I put your name on the list Chris. Jules just got the pages posted.

Penny does like to watch them run, but since she stops as soon as the chickens get a good head of steam, that's all she's doing. Now, Penny was a bit too interested in the chicks last Fall, but Frieda quickly cured her of that! Mind you, Frieda's not much larger than Penny's head gh

okay so maybe ill get lucky and the small one will be a hen. i know he/she has been making a call ive heard called the "mating call" and also a low growling sound and something like what a sage grouse makes (a low booming sound like a bass sound) does any of this help decide the sex? also on the ducks how soon will i know who is male or female

 

[SilkiesForEver]

I don't think I'll be getting any more Silkies from the batch of eggs I set. Hatching day has come, and is almost gone. Sad thing is, I think I'm going to lose the first little guy too. He's not doing well at all.

So disappointing. Momma hen will be upset too; she's gotten used to having the little guy under her.

I look forward to hearing more details! I'm willing to help in whatever way I can!

Jules @fortyfivefarm posted a party page with more info.

Just want to say hello from Nor-cal. Hoping to get a Brabanter project going this year. Testing the the incubator right now and then searching for a rooster.

I'm looking for a nice pullet & I love to hatch for you if you need any help.
