Thank you.
I will let you know when I see egg laying if I have hens.

I'm in South Africa. Wish I had my own jet, I'd be all over the world collecting beautiful chickens. They are so limited here.

I'm pretty sure silkies need to be a few months old before you can tell the gender. They don't even sell them sexed from hatcheries. I would just make sure you have something lined up if 1 or both end up being males

I do think I have a roo in the mix, but that's ok. I will post him for a new home. My friend said he has Mr. Red at his house and only needs the one roo. Here is a pic of mine that I keep waiting for his crow to make sure, the one with the white head is the one we are thinking is a roo. Pic of them now at 7 weeks old.

They're too young to tell. Silkies take quite a bit of time before you can tell the gender.

True!!

True!!

Reading this exact comment is what's been on my mind today. There's a lady nearby with silky chicks and she's asking me to come look. Buuuut I see it all over that's its super hard to sex silkies.
