Hi guys! I am new to chickens and recently ordered 15 buff silkies and 5 polish chicks. Hoping someone can help with a few newbie questions!
For one! I have one that's mostly solid white...
But then another that's more...cream? They are five weeks old. Would you call the cream white or buff? And am I right in thinking the white is a lady and the buff is a roo?
I also have these...I think the golden laced is a boy, as well as the silver laced...but the black with a white crest is a girl?
Sorry for the terrible pics....but the ones I think are boys have more narrow mohawks and the girl a rounder poof.
I honestly hope I have it backwards as the golden laced is our favorite...my boyfriend who swears he hates birds has named him Phoenix and pets him when he thinks I am not looking
Thank you all for any forthcoming help!
