Ooooohhhh, you are both making me excited!! How great would that be if they were girls!? Silkies are really tough. Funny thing is that I did have to rehome another cockeral because he was fighting with Taz and neither would back down. I just find it strange that none of the others have done it or attempted to crow or mate and they are the same age as Taz...unless he has TOTAL control of that flock!!

What kind of pictures should I try to get of them? I wish they'd stand still for me!! lol

I agree, they're pullets.

2,3,and4 are females. I am not sure on 1, but leaning toward female as well.

I agree with this based on my few months of owning Silkies. They look female to me, too. But #1 not sure.

I can't tell you how happy I am that some of you say pullets!!! If they all ended up being girls, that would mean out of the 12 two week olds we got back in July, only two were roos!! Isn't that almost unheard of!? One of those, as I said, has already been rehomed because he and my dominant rooster got into it really good, drawing blood, and neither would back down.

They are my babies and I couldn't allow them to harm eachother like that.
