Thanks guys. I just wanted to make sure as the white silkie has a bigger comb and wattles. But I thinks it's confirm that both are pulletts as the white one already layed 6 eggs and it seems she is starting to sit on them much longer now. Not sure if something will happen as there is no rooster. They both like each other company and like it too.

Hi everyone.
I'm new to this forum and chickens in general. I got great tips and ideas from this website, so I just a have a question or two. But first let me say that I never thought I will fall in love with chickens. I have 2 silkies and they are the sweetest things and very entertaining. I got them when they were about 3 or 4 months old, so I think they must be about 8 months now. I learn new things every day as I go and hope they thrive. First I thought the one is male and the other female, but the one I thought was male is laying eggs. So I'm adding some pics if someone can help with that. White silkie's name is Cremora and black silkie is Truffle. Thanks
