I can sex your Silkies!

[fishermans wife]

Oh and also they have a 7x14 foot coop and 25x25 foot run, so a lot of space

I have more silkies than I want to admit to...and many roosters. For the most part they all get along great because they were raised together. Once in awhile they will get in a scuffle, but usually respond to just being separated for a bit. There is a pecking order among them just like the hens.

Thats a a roo for shure!

Hello, I know silkies are difficult to sex when young, but would appreciate any educated guesses.

That’s a pullet!

She recently chest bumped one of my other chickens. Do pullets do this sometimes?
