I really like Pate and have had no crowing from shim yet... the lady told me Pate was hatched in April... but she told me other things and lied too...

I read that if they have streamers on their head then they are roos... Pate has streamers..

Well I don't know how true that is because I have some hens with streamers too. it might be a girl

Its a girl until it crows.

6.5 wks? That's it?

I think I will just change the outlet to the right receptor.

Got to go to work now...

I wish they were more like dogs... in that...
You have a stud service... never have to see the other again unless you want to...
And you could tell what sex they are by looking at the bottom of their feet

Well today is a warm day. I was out doing yard work this morning in just a t shirt and pants. Nice day all the way around.

Well, got the old dryer out, had to run to lowes and get a gas line cap for the t. Got the new dryer into the room, go to plug it in and wouldn't you know it. WRONG TYPE OF PLUG! OUTLET! So, need to buy a new outlet... Dagnabit!

Nova, we had that problem when we bought a new dryer. We have an old farmhouse so our outlet was the older type used instead of the newer one they use these days. Turns out they don't have that type of plug in for dryers anymore so we had to use a stove/oven plug in for it. You just have to make sure your dryer uses less watts than the new cord can handle. Like Rusty said, switching it out was easy. Just unscrew the one that came with it and screw the new one in place. I did it on ours.

So there is still hope!!

byfm, I am no expert on sexing silkies as I only know for sure on 2 of our four, but I'm kind of thinking roo on Pate. All of mine are white and my girl has a stray streamer, but my roo has very noticeable prominent streamers like Pate seems to have so that's why I'm kind of leaning that way. But who knows. Maybe the pic just makes them look big...wait for the egg.
