Michele, i had been given 4 silkies summer 07 and 3 were splash and one blue. I posted pics on here in hopes someone would tell me they were girls
And it worked
All the BYC silkie experts told me they looked like girls........it wasnt until about 5 mos old that a few streamers shot out to let me know i would not be able to keep them all. Until then, it was really hard to tell. I think mostly we see what we want to see as long as we possibly can........which is alot of times when they crow
But hey....nothing wrong with thinking positive
............... right????
I also find that the really nice looking silkies are sooooo fluffy that it makes it hard to tell until later.
