I will have buff hens available next spring. They are too small to sex at the moment. You need to be aware that most show quality silkies are slow to develop. They can often be 6-8 months old before you are 100% certain of gender.

I'll have black and splash silkies hatching in a month or two. The silkies can be very tough to sex. Usually you can't tell until they are 6 weeks +. You can never guarantee until they lay or crow.

Ditto.


Also, at that age you have no idea if the bird will be show worthy or not. There is no such thing as a show quality chick. Chicks from show stock, okay, but not a show quality chick.
The only real thing you can look for is correct comb and # of toes.

Good Luck in your search!!!

What color? I have two whites, 99.9% certain they are girls but not guaranteeing that. Have all the correct stuff. Hatched in Mid-Late July. So around 8 weeks or so. Im listing them on bidbird. Auction opens tonight at 9pm. http://bidbird.com/listings/details/index.cfm?itemnum=1002501385​
