Remember, chicken math. You'll intend to only get about 5 or less and you'll come home with 10 or more!

I have 6 silkies. 5 are almost 3 weeks old and 1 is 9 weeks old. I was sure the 9week old one was a girl. However, the recent strangulated attempts at crowing tells me Mumbles is really a boy! I can only hope that at least a few of the younger ones are girls. I would feel really bad if I had to go out and get more silkies if I have more boys (NOT)! Hehe.

I hatched some showgirls and silkies this year. They are about 2 1/2 months old. Someone told be they develop streamers on their heads if they are roos but I don't know if that pertains to the showgirls or both them and the silkies. Maybe I need to research that
