FluffyLambs's Week by Week Silkie thread!!!

[LadiesAndJane]

I will never be able to post pictures of a older Poppy again. It started pouring rain and I couldn't go out and put them up, and a huge snake swallowed her. I want to punch it into a billion pieces right now. I hope she Rests In Peace and I will see her again someday.

Oh no! I am so truly sorry for the loss of your little Poppy.

Update of Splash for week 10! She's the fluffy-est little Silkie I have had yet. Besides Poppy, she's also the smallest.

I am thinking pullet. @MysteryChicken is it still to early or is this an ok age to start sexing silkies?

I would still guess pullet but I am not very good at sexing silkies either! @LadiesAndJane what do you think?

Not too early.

Other features need to be noted, besides comb size. Have you checked under the other feathers to see if there's any stringy saddles starting to grow?
