I just got. 2 silkies today at an auction but I don't know how old they are can anyone tell?

I do not have a clue. You may want to post this pic in our What Breed and Gender section of BYC and ask what other members think their ages might be....

Adorable birds!

They look full grown and fully feathered so my guess is over 6mths at least. Could be anything over that, its hard to know exactely how old though.

Well they must be a year they just layed their first eggies!! Both are ladies! Do they get fluffier with age?

Congrats on the first eggs!! Birds can continue to grow as they age. I am not sure with silkies, but I know my orps got bigger and grew more feathers until they were 2 years old.
