How old does this silkie hen look to you ?

[connor97]

I got her at a pet store and forgot to ask how old it was. I doubt they would have known anyway.
Any guesses?

Has the Silkie started laying yet? If not I would say it is about 3-5 months old. If it has started laying, I would have to say it's hard to tell

She looks fully matured so anything above like 5 months I would say.

 

[connor97]

I've only had her two days now, so far no eggs.

She may be stressed and hasn't laid because of that.

I couldn't say what age but she is definatley a mixed breed. She has no foot feathers.

 

[BantamFan4Life]

True, I didn't realize that.

 

[connor97]

Oh well that's okay she is beautiful too me, full bred or mixed bred I already love her.

Yep that's what matters!

She may be stressed out a little. Going from her previous farm all the way to a pet store in california and now in my backyard, I'd be a little stressed out too. I'll let you all know if she lays any eggs within the next week.
