To the silkie enthusiasts: how soon can you tell if your pullet will have a nice poofy crest and/or be beardless and/or not poofy? Not exactly sure which of those go together yet.
You may want to check out the silkie thread to see some pics of bearded and non-bearded silkies. You can find it by clicking on the brown Forum tab at the top of the screen then "Chicken Breeds" then "Breeds/Genetics/Showing"
There are some really beautiful specimens there to drool over.
Good luck to you
