Black Sex Links are my favorite hens. They are friendly, egg laying machines.

I can't see the dark ones very well but the tan(buff) has me thinking roo. Silkies are extremely difficult to sex before 4-5 mos. of age. I just have a feeling that he is a roo but, I wouldn't swear by it.

Welcome to BYC!

What cutie pies! You will need to make some steps up to that roost bar for now. That is a long way to get up or down for babies. They could injure or sprain something.

Make yourself at home here on BYC. If you have any questions, that is what we are here for.

Enjoy your new babies and welcome to our flock!

Thank you yall for the welcome. The silkies have no roost right now they are inside with me. The black sex links just went into their coop and run. I have really low bars out in run. In the coop thats just for when they get bigger. The biggest one "big bertha" can really get height oi vey. I will get the fourth silkie sister to the tan one I have this week. She misses her sister or brother lol. All of them are sooooo friendly. BB aka big bertha has a attitude sometimes but she is the queen she thinks ha ha ha. Im learning. Yall are so nice ty.
