How big is she? She looks huge!

x2!! I love big silkies though. More fluff to cuddle with She is really something else! Looks very different/better than my partridge girl Ida.

My Ida is the smallest chicken I have! I have 2 other female silkies, and Ida is tiny compared to them. She also hates human contact. She is so unsilkie like

This is an older picture from a few months ago. I'll post a new picture soon!

Stunning! How can you tell he's a he? Does he crow?

 

[Silkie Nut]

At this point I didn't know. Now that I have more experience with the breed I can tell at an earlier age. Sometimes around 3-4 months, roosters will start to get little streamers on their head...and eventually they'll start to crow. Unfourtunatley with mine...I had to wait till he crowded

If anyone is intrested in silkies, be sure to check out www.tropicalchickies.com, or look for Tropical Chickies on this website.
