This is our Lavender silkie, Im thinking Roo? What do you think?

Lavender # 2

You cannot really tell without a picture of the comb in this situation. How old?

I'll have a go! Here is Dolly, she is 7 weeks old. No visible comb forming just yet...

Any guesses as to wether dolly is a he or a she??
(White feathers are difficult to photograph, so I'm hoping these are good enough )

Anyone want to take a guess???

Looking like a pullet to me, but mind you that's a guess. Still a little young to know for sure.

I love this thread! I just hatched 7 silkies! I am so excited to find out what they are as they grow

Hi.. I have 2 silkie questions..

First, this black chick is 11 wks old. Acts very "girlish", no roo behavior that I have seen except the occasional chest bumping with its chick-mates. I know it's early, but girl or boy?


Second, this little chick is almost 2 weeks old, I have never seen a silkie chick this color. What will it be when it grows up?

 

[jaimemae]

I think it's called Partridge and may end up looking like this maybe?? This is Zayne, the papa of my 7 babies that just hatched
