Usually it is a slightly higher charge, and vent sexing isn't 100% accurate. And thank you! I have another cute one too...this one she is getting cochin kisses. I think most breeds will become friendly if you handle them often.

I'm not as fond of McMurrays, but they are alright. If you want silkies though, I wouldn't get them from a hatchery. Hatchery silkies are...very different...to breeder silkies.
