Hi.I am new...no chicks yet either. I live in Leland not to far from you. I was wondering where you get your DE from or any suggestions where I should look.

We also looked, debated, asked and then decided to go with shavings, top dressed with DE. The DE really helps with killing mites and flies, and also keeps the smell away and dries up the poop/pee quickly. We use a pitch fork and just lift up the poopy shavings when necessary. I also put the DE in their dust "bowls" and nesting boxes too!

Celeste, at two months silkies really can't be sexed--no way no how. If you get rid of them, you may end up really regretting it, too. However...if you did feel you absolutely had to weed a few out, I would start with any that have single combs. Maybe I wasn't seeing clearly, but it looked like at least one of them was growing in a single comb. Since you would never want to breed that silkie, boy or female, you could probably part with it first.

Just my opinion, of course! And, honestly, at least if you decide to wait you won't always wonder.
