Silkie females or males?

[Shood87]

Good evening everyone.

So tonight we we’re hanging with our chickens and we were trying determine wether they are male or female. Here are some pics. I can get more if needed.

Thanks guys!

Alrighty then. So here is a question. If we got hens could we try and introduce them to our two guys or would that cause problems?

Definitely cockerels.

Depends on how many hens you have, the best ratio is 10 hens to one roo. To keep the hens from being over mated and so the roosters don't fight over hens as much. But it really depends on the bird, some roosters don't do well with.others when hens are introduced and there's bound to be a bit of fighting but it should even out. Good luck!
