Bantam Chickens on a Pocket Prairie
I know these guys are young for definitive answers.. Im just sort of preplanning on whether to expand an indoor house chicken coop, and sexing will help me figure that out.
Both are 6 weeks as of today. They are from Ideal Poultry, and ive read that they tend to be non-bearded and Crest feathers lean back. Do these look like they will have beards?
The brown i am assuming is partridge and maybe female.. seems more calm, docile, no domineering/chest bumping, and is very small in comparison to the grey/ black one.
The dark one was grey as a 3 day old chick, with just a few hints of black. Do black silkies start off as grey? Or is this new black color going to fade out? Assuming this is a male based on upright positioning, a bit domineering, chest bumping, and much larger.
Ill update with new pics as they get older, but just wanted to hear any initial thoughts! Thank you!!
