Queen Silvia Thread

I purchased what I thought was a pair a month ago and as they have gotten older they are starting to look the same. I would really appreciate any help in finding out what gender they are.

It looks like 2 girls to me. How old are they?

How were your QS's through the winter? Did they keep laying through the winter? I am interested in this breed as they are so lovely and lay pink eggs. Yet another color to add to the egg basket!

They slowed down this winter, but kept on laying. The eggs are medium size.

They are about 3 months old. I guess I'm going to need a rooster

Awesome, how old is it and how much do you want for it?

Hi all!! No action on this thread lately, but I sure would like to hear plusses and minuses to this breed because I just got 18 of the little peeps delivered from GFF (through a rare breeds auction). The chicks are so exotic looking!!
So, a question: would they be considered a "barred" breed? And, would the female's barring work with a sex link type cross?
Are there other colors in the works?
Thanks!

They lat a lot of eggs. I sold all 20 of them and was glad to get rid of them because the rooster are very aggressive. I got tired of getting spurred. I would loved to have kept them, it seemed all of the rooster were getting aggressive and attacking me and any other rooster that I owned and even each other. When I say attacking I mean an all out war on me and anything else in my yard or coop.
