This is my silkie Spunky Val(entino). Most of my chickens don't have names but she is the first chick I hatched and has earned a name. I had been thinking Val was a cockerel but this morning I took a good look at her comb, I had to pull her crest back to see it and it is very small and flat, so I'm now hoping for a pullet. I am concerned about her ability to see with her crest coming down over her eyes, I will watch her a while before I decide she needs a trim though, she doesn't seem to be blinded by it just yet. She has only four toes on both feet, but that's fine by me. I have some black silkies that are more correct, they are a big younger and I'm afraid that you will all confirm my suspicions they are cockerels. Anyway, let me know what you think, Val or Valentino?
