I hatched about 32 Silkie x Cochin babies this winter (along with Delaware x Cochin and d'Uccle x Cochins). I have 22 Silkie mixes left, and I can clearly tell a lot of them are roosters. Some have some really pretty feathers coming in, too.
The Silkies actually hatched one of the Silkie mixes and four other babies themselves. And that red "coop" in the second pic is for the rabbit, not the chickens. And that is my cat in the background of the last pic. He's afraid to go near the chickens because he knows he'll get in trouble if he messes with them.
