Silkie gender

I feel that! I started out with 10, and I was sure I had all pullets and one roo....turned out I had 5 roos and the two unidentified silkies, so I got five more juvenile pullets, lost 4 to predators. I reinforced the coop, and just got 4 more juvenile pullets, but I'm still off and I can't bring myself to get rid of any of my roos! Especially since they all get along and they have been nice to me. Lol

5 coops later...

It sure can! Lol I think this is how folks end up with 50 chickens!

I recently made a feed run to Tractor Supply . . . . $1 chicks and 0 will power are a bad combination . . .I'll be getting pictures and posting them in a few days, if not tomorrow, lol.

I had a cockerel heavy batch of SR RIR and I'm glad they were a fiesty bunch, because I was not sorry to see them go.

The acronyms take a bit of getting use to, but now they roll of my finger tips.
