It might be easier if you posted a pic of your chick in question.

Im not asking if their roo or hen Im asking bearded or non bearded! their not this young anymore! I havent gotten any new pictures here lately!

I may not be of any help here as I am new to Silkies myself. But from what I see, and again, I may be all wrong, they all look non-bearded to me.

I'm quite sure someone will come in and correct me!

Chick #1 is bearded. Chick #2 looks non bearded in the first pic then bearded in the second. Chick #3 doesnt look bearded. It may just be very small. Chick #4 looks bearded in some and non bearded in some too. I think they are all bearded but they just aren't too big.

As soon as my daughter wakes up from her nap I'll go up an get updated pics of them. Right now their gong through their ugly stage and have alot of pin feathers right now.

Updated pics from today.. probably a very bad time to tell if bearded or non because their just getting their pin feathers in on their head, neck an backs..


Chick #1 (assumed roo also largest of the 3)

Chick #2 (assumed hen)

Chick #3 (assumed hen also smallest of the 3)

Chick #1 is definitely bearded. Chick #2 is sparsely bearded. Chick #3 does really look bearded to me.
