Play the Silkie Guessing Game! Update page 5 - Wattles?

Can you get pics of Pixie and Dixie's combs (although they both look like pullets). The other two are cockerels.

Pixie & Dixie look like girls. The lobster claw is a common fault--easy to correct with selective breeding.

I can really see the earlobes on the girls (Dixie and Pixie)

Dixie

Pixie

Pixie (what a hairdo!)

Pepper

Pepper (you can't really tell in these pics, but Pepper has a rock-star mullet hair style

)

Ginger

And some pics with their "mommy". They still try to cuddle underneath Lavender at night.

And Lavender babies them. She's not sick of them yet! They all still peep, so will see how she feels about them when their voices start changing.

See how big they are! They are bigger than their mommy!

WOW you are doing a great job they are getting so big

My "buff" chick looks almost identical to Dixie. It's so much fun watching them grow up. And is Pepper blue or black? These pics look blue to me...

They're really darling. I am so in love with silkies! Thanks for keeping us updated on your babies.

Uh Oh! Help silkie experts! Dixie is growing huge wattles. They are bigger than Pepper and Ginger's and Pixie has zero wattles.

Dixie's are also reddish color.

Help?
