Very quiet and ALWAYS getting left behind by the other chicks.[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]"She is about half the size of the other LF chicks ("her" fluff makes "her" look bigger).[/COLOR] [COLOR=333333] [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333] [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333] [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333] [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333] [/COLOR] [COLOR=333333]Oops, got left behind AGAIN!

I think your chick looks very feminine so I'm saying pullet, I see nothing jumping out that says roo. But I also have several I will be posting this weekend for sexing lol we all need reassurance with these silkies haha!

More pics of mine,they are at least 2 months old,if not 3. Cant keep up with all the different dates,I have more pics posted a few pages back.

I suspect this one is a roo,he is much bigger and more brave,also has a bigger waddle/comb.



This on I think may be a hen,she is shy and small.

Hope they are not both roos

I'd say 1 roo and 1 pullet.
