Sorry. I've hijacked your thread!

Not completely, still on the subject of silkies.

Hard telling for sure. I like using weight as away of size confirmation.

Floof is: 5.02lbs

Scaredy is: 4.57lbs

Poof is: 3.46lbs


A feisty personality(Both genders) is also seems common with the type from what I noticed.

When Blue and Raven stop being broody I'll probably weigh them.

I'll be crossing LF Silkie rooster to Malay hen for sexlinked chicks, hoping to get a male, & a female.

The Female F1, will be crossed to my F1 Silkie/Brahma rooster. Their offspring will be crossed to my F2 Giant Silkie cockerel.
Their offspring will be bred back to the Silkie/Malay. Maybe.

I got mine out of the bin at TSC. I just snagged up the big beardless ones.

I left the Bantams in the bin for the rest of the people.

Most people want the bantams because they're small and cute.
