Silkie 9 months old hen (hopefully)

[Rock17]

My silkie artemis is acting weirdly. She is twice the size of all the other bantams. She is dominant in the flock and shows others to food. I have caught the other girls laying but not her. She is a vent sexed hen. Please tell me if my chicken is an artemis or an apollo

She's a She.

Thankyou!

Thankyou!

You're welcome.

The size difference is most likely due to her being a Chinese Silkie, which aren't really Bantams.

Ok. I have two other silkies that are both smaller than her and i was wondering if she was incorrectly vent sexed

Size isn't always the best judgement on sexing silkies. I've had some cockerels/roosters the size of hens/pullets. I've even had regular breeds, or mixes with huge hens.

Ok
