These 7 Silkie chicks are 10 days old today. Photos from today as well. These are from eggs I had shipped from a show breeder on the mainland with the intention of adding fresh bloodlines to my flock. Looking to add an additional rooster. I intend on keeping all of them until they are old enough to determine their appropriateness for my breeding program. I sent the egg shells they hatched from in for DNA testing, so I would know what I have to work with.
Knowing that it’s almost impossible to gender ID Silkie chicks this young, I thought it would be fun if people wanted to take a guess. I am expecting the DNA results in the next few days and will post the answers. I have my suspicions which ones are male or female already but I have been wrong many times.
Each bird is assigned a number and there are two photos of each bird.
*Tried to make a poll but it would not work for me. I will correct this if it’s working later.
