***ADDED LOTS OF PICTURES AND MORE SILKIES TO GUESS AT!*****
Click on pictures to see larger images, it was a bit cloudy when the new pictures were taken, hopefully you can see what you need!!
So.... your thoughts? Boys or girls????
Silkie #1: Blue, hatched 7/5/12, have not heard any crowing.
Silkie #2: black, also born 7/5/12, no crowing yet either.
(Little burst of wind from behind here... maybe blowing his hairdo around a bit):
Here's a better shot with no wind:
Silkie #3, Black, Hatched 5/25/12, no crowing, no eggs, very timid/submissive
Silkie #1 in background behind the board, Silkie #3 on left, Silkie #2 on right:
Silkie #1 on left, Silkie #2 on right- they did a little face-off for a few seconds, ruffled neck feathers, bobbed heads, then sort of walked off. Same thing young chicks do when they are playing, but at 4 months old, are they a little old to be playing like that? I have a tendency to think they're boys if they're sparring at this age? The blue one on the left did get more into it than this picture shows, assumed the same posture as the one on the right...
