I got some white silkie bantam chicks at the beginning of March. I know it’s difficult to figure out their sex when they’re so young, but I have one “odd ball” silkie that I’m wondering if he’s a roo.
his head isn’t as poofy like the rest of them and his comb is a lot more bulbous I guess you could say. He also has waddles unlike the other ones, and is slightly larger.
Any thoughts from the experts??
The first three pictures are of the “odd ball” and the second are pictures of some of the other silkies.
