Hiya, and welcome to BYC! Silkies can't be sexed until they are 4-5 months old, so you'd be best to check on Facebook in your local/state poultry groups.

I have seen a hatchery or two offer sexed silkie chicks, but expensive. You might check those too as they must DNA check theirs themselves, and that's not always 100%, but better than 50% you'd get buying straight run.

Hello everyone. I’ve been quietly stalking the site since March. I recently moved in January to a home that had…drumroll please…a chicken coop and run. Well, naturally I had to start the research. And convince my better half (cough cough) that we NEEDED chickens. He has still not agreed to goats . So, after much research I brought home 6 “female” chicks from TS. One had to be rehomed to a friend as we aren’t allowed roosters (but my neighbour may chain his dog outside 24/7 barking). NOW I’M AN ADDICT. If you’ve read this far, I desperately need a few silkie pullets.

Welcome to BYC. We also moved from the city to the STICKS and hubby finally got me 8 baby chicks, after 4 months of sad faces. I too have not got the YES for the goats (you need more than one you know). Nice to meet you.
