That's funny, I would've said roo!

Don't take my word for anything much with the Silkies, these are my first go at them too!

I can tell you 100 percent certainty
1 of us is right

Oh I so hope it is a pullet! That's why I got mine in the first place, to brood for me. Randy's right, we are 100% correct...one way or the other!

I've got 7 pullets and 7 cockerels! They are already gettin' froggy with the girls, but so far, none with me. If I can handle the 12# birds coming after me, I surely can handle a nasty Silkie roo!

So far, so good...

My over melanized BCM girls - trying to decide which box

Maybe this one?

Or how 'bout this one?

Maybe this one???

Ruth was determined NOT to let me see who won ....

In the end, they both decided on the same box and an Ameraucana agreed with their choice

And my BCM cockerel (8 months old) - strutting his stuff on a COLD, windy day

Another reason I don't post alot of pics. I stink.
Here is the rudimentary toed silkie. No nail. Barely a stump!

So hard to see, one color.
