Can you believe it?! I've been thinking it based on behavior, but I didn't want to jynx it by saying it out loud!

Congrats on 3 ladies! Out of curiosity, how do you get them tested like that?

IQ bird testing. You send in a few feathers and it costs 13.99 per bird. Which was well worth it for peace of mind.

Huh! I'm planning on getting some chicks in the spring. I'll be getting sexed females, but if there's one I'm unsure about I'll be sure to try it!

In general I don't mind waiting but you can only get silkies straight run and then they are so hard to sex. I was so afraid I had all roosters. My first batch of bantams was 3 roosters and one lone girl.

That makes sense! I know that you can get sexed bantams from MyPetChicken...for quite a hefty price, however! Your silkies are adorable and I'm glad that everything worked out.

Wow! I can't believe they are all girls! The buff was obvious, and the black makes sense. But the white one? I was so sure that one was a boy. I'm happy for you though!

I gasped out loud when I saw that the white was a girl. I was so ready for her to be a boy. I'm excited now though. I have a white girl and boy now! I can make lots of fluffy babies if I can convince my husband that more babies is a good idea.

I'll probably still come back every couple weeks to update their growth, just in case this thread is useful to anyone.
