I hope you enjoy. They'll be hatching soon. Today is day 19.

 

[PippinTheChicken]

I haven't weighed them but I will soon and will tell you

It's okay.

Sounds good.

I didn't weigh Pippin, since she is broody (although she is bigger than her sister)

Fries (a year old) is around 3 lbs
Pickles (12 week old cockerel) is nearly 2lbs

Standard for US Bantam silkie weight ounces to pound conversion.

Male, Bantam Silkie.

Female Bantam Silkie.

And Standard Sized Silkie weights.

It's funny how I see mixed messages between both, because the first one talking about Bantam silkies. Saying males can reach 4lbs, & Females can reach 3lbs.


Both my LF Males, & Females weigh alittle over 4 pounds. I think I have pictures on my old phone of a LF silkie hen on the scale.
