Is there any way to tell the difference between hens and roos (Silkies) when they are chicks? I just received 3 silkies and I know that one is a roo and the other 2 are hens...I don't know which is the roo but it would be nice to know as soon as possible (so I don't give a hen a male's name and vice versa).
Are there any key signs with Silkies (beak color, etc.)? (I'm still a newbie at this stuff so forgive my ignorance.)
I've got a White Silkie, a Black Silkie, and the third Silkie I can't make out what type it is...it's got what almost looks like leopard print on this head.
I also received 8 other assorted Bantam hens...I know they're all hens...unless the order got messed up.
