Silkie Combs Week by Week (thread)

[PioneerChicks]

Hey everyone! I decided to take pictures of this batch of silkies' comb growth week by week to help future silkie sexers (starting at week 2).

Anyways, I'll turn this into an article, but for now it'll be a thread! You can vote on the poll, for fun at first, but you can change your vote as we go.

Their names Freedom, Liberty, Independence, and Justice (or Free, Libby, Indie, and Judy). Okay, so their nicknames aren't multigender. But until proven otherwise, they are all "she"!

Week 1
Free


Libby


Indie


Judy



Week 2
Free


Libby


Indie


Judy



Week 4
Free


Libby


Indie


Judy

Notes: They are all starting to get funky feathers on their heads! They're in the "teenager stage" now. Other than size, I have no guesses on age yet. In a week or two we'll start monitoring the comb growth more closely.


There you go! I'll update weekly with new photos!

This sounds like a fun thread

This sounds fun! It might be cool to take a screenshot of the poll every week to see how the votes change.

That would be cool! But I don't know how to take screenshots. I've tried! But I'll look into it and try again!

I love the names!

I love the names!

Thank you! As a rule, all my chickens have to be named after a book, historical person, or have a strong meaning.
