Ok. Thank you so much for your help. I now have the pullet. What do you think? Did I pick a girl? (she is about 8 weeks)

She is so cute!!

Her beard is just coming in now. The prior picture looked like Australorps to me until you updated with your own photos

Yes. She is my only fancy breeder chicken. I got her here: http://showsilkies.com/ They are only about an hour from my house. I bought a chick but he turned out to be rooster, which I am not zoned for. He was really beautiful but I brought him back and take two was this lovely girl.

This was the rooster at 6 months:

I love his hairdo

Too bad that you had to raise him from a chick and rehome him. Must have been hard!

I was really sad. At first he was only crowing like once a week and I was hoping I could just get away with it but gradually it got to the point where I knew I had to rehome him. Luckily the breeders took him back and said the he was lovely and they would keep him so at least I know he has a really great home.
