Sikie Babies- How to know which ones to keep?

[ericsgirlie]

Is there anything we should be looking for. Obviously because we are in town, they have to be hens... but other than that, what makes a good silkie

SIlkies take a long time to fill out. A lot of people say don't get rid of anything till up to a year even.
But just look for lots of fluff all over, blk skin, five toes, good foot feathering.

Oh and on males you want a walnut shaped comb.

Thank you so much! If they have walnut shaped come as babies, does that mean they are boys?
