I'm NOT a chicken... but my chicks think I am

[Aunt Angus]

Ok. They are screaming at me right now. Screaming. Omigosh. I may not be able to hold out.

Temp is good. It's nice and dark. Brooder is clean. Water? Check. Food? Check. Willpower to not give in? I dunno about that one...

And I think my Sebright might be a cockerel. Not a good night, overall. I can keep roos, but I think one of my Silkies is a boy, too. *sigh* I don't have enough hens for two boys.

I think Picotee is just adorable and vote they come and live with me if she is indeed a he. I'd happily find my bantam cockerels a new home to make room.

Well, that proves it. I AM a chicken, at least figuratively speaking....

I'd love that, tbh. Too bad you are so far awaaaaay....

Yeah, it's a bit of a distance.
I'll just have to settle for pictures I guess, lol.

Hahahah try your best to ignore them! All for the better! Do you want to send some photos so we can all help you try sex them?

Here's little Picotee. 4 weeks tomorrow.

I don't have any good ones of Dandelion or Violet, the Silkies. By comparing them, I see that Violet has thinner legs and a narrower beak than Dandelion. I'm guessing Violet is a she and Dandelion is a he, but it really is just a guess.

The other post had a reply of boy for Picotee. The more pics I see, the more I'm sure she's a he.

Oh, what to do. If Dandelion is a boy, too, I'm going to have to choose between them. Oh, sad day.... I love them both so much...
