I loved the information Provided in this thread, Thank you for taking the time to create it!

This is my Boy Ao. He had Stargazing as a chick, But you wouldn't know it now. He turned into a handsome boy



And these are my current silkie chicks, These lil ones are the reason i came to this thread. But i can wait until they are older to know. But i have a feeling two are Roo's
