Awaiting dna results for some of our Silkies. Play the guessing game with me on this one while we wait?? I’ll post the results to this thread once we have the results. (2 weeks or so)
14 weeks old. My guess is pullet. I thought it was pullet from 1 Day old. I think that mostly because of behavior, the way it holds itself, and comb size. Its crest is still feathering out, so that isn’t a reliable way to tell. Sometimes it’s longer in the back, sometimes in the front. Sometimes it walks and holds itself like a female, sometimes a male. Typical Silkie lol. Its hatch-mate is half the size, but he’s trying to crow, and he has always exhibited typical male behavior. I’m not keeping him, so I didn’t dna test him.
