Change user name and all 4 Silkies are Roos!

[Dianne Hess]

I am brand new to chickens and this site. First question is how do I change my user name? I didn't realize when I input my name it would be my forever name on the site. Second and most important is that I purchased my first Silkie babies in early April. 5 of them. As luck would have it I have 4 boys and only one girl. I'm seeing attitudes already. I consider these pets so not all that worried about egg production but I don't want fighting. My coop is the OverEZ medium sized coop with the medium sized pen. Any support is welcome!

Hi and welcome to the BYC human flock. They are adorable, I have 5 silkie babies that are way to young to even come close to sexing. I'm praying for mostly girls, as I don't want to have get rid of any. Just like you my luck is terrible with straight runs.

Welcome to BYC. Sadly 4 cockerels and one pullet is not going to work. Some folks keep all rooster flocks. Sometimes this works, and sometimes it does not. If it were me, I would rehome 3 of the cockerels and get a couple more silky hens.

Hello, Diane, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Sorry to hear about your lousy gender ratio on your silkies.

That was my concern too.
