Chicks at 40 Days Old! Now they are in the new coop, no more “glamour shots” (see my BYC page) but I tried to get pics of everyone separately. I have some questions about gender/breed for some of the “silkies” so if you have comments on them please let me know what you think!
Easter Eggers – Emma, Evie, Evelyn & Ellie

Silver Laced Wyandotte, Salt – kinda ugly feathering but I have yet to see a 6-week old SLW that looks like our GLW so maybe it’s normal?

“Silkies” grey ones are 40 days old, the other 4 are 30 days old:
Bliss (Black) & Splash – were told these are Black & Splash silkies. Def are not. Don’t know what they are and I *hope* at least one is a girl

Sasha – only one that is really looking like a silkie, but think it’s a HE:

Sammy – not sure? Maybe a silkie (has fluff more like sasha but not nearly as much):

Ginny (larger of the Grey silkies – I think this is a HE)

Oh, and my bet is Sammy and your BRs are hens ... by that age my Sultan and BR roos were very apparent. I love, love, love my BRs. They are the best layers (even in the dark days of winter) and they are easy going and personable. They're not nearly the "trouble makers" my cochins are. You have a nice, varied flock, rock stars every one!
