First Place goes to @LynnaePB, for their round 9 and 10 scores!

For Best Overall Accuracy we have @Krugerrand with 61% average accuracy for all rounds.

2nd place goes to @charlotte-and-the-bees with a 67% average for all rounds.

1st place in overall accuracy goes to @LynnaePB, with an average accuracy of 77% for all 10 rounds!

I wanted to do at least one trophy, so here's to @LynnaePB for just rocking this guessing thing (you're gonna be my go-to Silkie sexpert from now on, lol)

Yes, yes, I know I'm a huge dork. you guys!
Edited to switch 2nd and 3rd place accuracy winners. Sorry guys...I goofed.

 

[EmmaRainboe]

I proudly take my trophy.

I really appreciate each and every one of you for helping me with this project. It's gonna take me a while to get all the data organized in a valuable format, but your contribution was invaluable. I will be sure to link that when I get it done (probably gonna do an article).

@GingerAndHerChicks, your score for the final round was 58%, guessing 14 of 24 correctly. @MixedFlock23, you got 16 out of 24 right, for 67% accuracy.

Here was the break down for everyone else:

Guessor	1​	2​	3​	4​	5​	6​	7​	8​	9​	10​	Average
charlotte-and-the-bees	63%​	54%​	58%​	58%​	75%​	63%​	63%​	79%​	83%	75%​	67%​
Chickeria	-	-	46%​	54%	42%​	50%​	50%​	54%​	67%​	75%​	55%​
EmmaRainboe	50%​	50%​	50%​	-	75%​	54%​	-	-	-	88%​	61%​
HappyClucker7	-	-	-	-	71%​	67%​	75%​	71%​	83%​	-	73%​
JustAChickenLoverOverHere	-	-	58%​	-	42%​	-	-	-	-	-	50%​
Krugerrand	58%​	50%​	63%​	50%​	50%​	67%​	54%​	63%​	75%​	83%​	61%​
LynnaePB	71%​	71%​	58%​	71%​	79%​	79%​	75%​	83%​	92%​	92%​	77%​
RoostersAreAwesome	-	-	46%​	-	54%​	71%​	75%​	88%​	88%​	71%​	70%​

ETA: I did an average that included all of the rounds for the ribbons/trophies, as the earlier rounds are harder since there is less to see. That brought the averages down to 46% for @Chickeria , 37% for @EmmaRainboe , 37% for @HappyClucker7, 10% for @JustAChickenLoverOverHere, and 49% for @RoostersAreAwesome . The average in the table are for the rounds that you submitted guesses for.

Edited again to update charlotte-and-the-bee's score.
Edited again to correct Chickeria's score.

And of course extra special thanks to @Krugerrand and @LynnaePB, for participating in every single round of this madness!

ETA: And @charlotte-and-the-bees! GAH please forgive me

 

[Chickeria]

YAY the results
Thank you TheAlrightyGina for letting me participate and thank you for the trophy I love your design!

I loved seeing your cuties develop week after week, they are all so sweet
I admire your dedication for your awesome Silkie sexing project
And I loved reading everyones guesses and comments - loved this thread

Omg - LynnaePB
...now I will always tagg you when I come across a thread where someone desperately wants to know the sex from a Silkie baby

 

[TheAlrightyGina]

Aw shucks, @charlotte-and-the-bees ! I forgot to update the averages when you submitted your week 9 guesses. I will correct that now!

 

[Krugerrand]

Gina,

At the risk of losing my trophy ... I'm not getting (PCTG) the same averages you are (Listed). .... I'm not sure if it's in how your accounting for RBf ... or if there's something else going on.

I tried to make sure I copied these correctly, hopefully I did.

I was trying to see how I did by chick. I wanted to break down if I got each bird more or less right, as I was all over the map with them. Clearly, some birds were easier/harder than others.

(the numbers under AvgByBird are the totals across for the 9-weeks)

I was so excited when I found this thread! Totally geeked out!! I was sad I missed posting week by week I'm gonna post our 2 silkie babies week by week for you silkie gurus!
I won’t say what my gut says yet because I’d love to know if you all think the same!
Mocha (partridge) and Mochi (gray? What’s the right color name?) are sisters who apparently have a frizzle gene we weren’t expecting. These pics are from day 1 and 2. I will reply with each week’s pics if you want to guess along or feel free to skip to the end to guess.
Also looking into DNA testing them!

 

[charlotte-and-the-bees]

Wooo this was so fun! @LynnaePB You are a ROCKSTAR!
