Growing Up Silkies

[Lil Peeps]

They have grown up to be such beauties! <3

Wow, already crowing? We had a Silkie rooster that started crowing at 7 weeks old, he was sure something!
To me it looks like Sora is a rooster, because of the swept back crest, and it also appears he's getting some streamers too, though I could be wrong. Yuki and the buff you have mainly pictures both look like hens, and the other buff, I don't know if that one was really in the last pictures? If so, all the buffs look like hens, if not, from the previous set of pictures, your other buff looks like it may be a boy too. Just my guesses purely. =) Good job raining those little babies! They are so adorable!

Surprisingly Yuki is one of the roosters who proudly crows his little heart out every morning. One of the buffs is a rooster, the other is certainly a hen though she had not started to lay yet. Sora is up in the air for being a girl or a boy. She/he hasn't started to crow yet and is actually the most docile or likely to get into a fight with the two boys. Hikaru the buff I believe is a hen gets angry at the boys when they crow and pecks at them. Yuki thinks he is king of the group despite being smaller than the other rooster Aiko. Yuki tries to pick fights with him all the time but Aiko seems to put him in his place quickly. Those two boys are such a riot in the mornings having their crow offs and bickering but when I try to get video they stop and look at me.

Oh my goodness that sounds so adorable! They're little crow-offs! Oh, Yuki is a boy, too? I never would have guessed that one! Yeah, he is one of the reasons why silkies are so hard to tell their genders! At least for me! Aw, he is so adorable! <3

I just realized watching video's from them being babies the other day there is always a common line I have said in every video. "Yuki, stop fighting everybody, Yuki be nice, Yuki no picking." Yup....that's my Yuki, he's a little snot who wants to be the center of the universe. Even this morning when the boys were crowing off I always praise them on their crowing even if it's sounds pathetic. When Aiko got up to crowing Yuki looked over at him and I gave Aiko a treat. The second time he went to crow Yuki jumped on his head and started crowing harder. >.< I was going to give Yuki treats but he got really offended Aiko was getting attention from mom and not him.

Oh my goodness! Yuki sounds like a little handful! I think they will both grow up to be VERY handsome young cocks!

Oh, he is a little handful but he's such a sweet pea to me.

Aw, I can tell that you are a loving mama to your babies!

The babies are growing so fast.

They are beyond adorable! I want Silkies So bad! Love all the pics! When I was looking at the pics of them as babies, before I scrolled down, I actually guessed their genders and got it right. I'm forming a theory on how to tell them apart, though obviously not accurate every time, but I've been right so far. Your babies are precious! And I love their names! Reminds me of anime names. Lol

Thank you, I guessed for them to be half right. Hikaru and Sora I was right about from day one. I thought Yuki would be a hen and I guess I wasn't sure on Aiko. I still love all my boys and my sweet little snuggle roo Yuki is the best.

Yuki I did get from one Anime. I got it from Wolf Children, Hanna's kids were Yuki and Ame. I want to name my next blue Ame.
