Silkie thread!

If I were to GUESS, I'd say roos. But, really, it is a guess. They are awfully young.

<3 N.C Chicken Chick <3 :

Anyone care to guess hen: or roo. They are 5 weeks old. Names are pippen and Muffin. Right now I am thinking both roos.

Here are some pics.

Try posting a gain at 8 weeks. Some you can tell early and some take many months.

I had one I thought was a rooster...very blue earlobes, etc.
Wondered why it got mounted a time or two when I got out there.
Then it laid an egg.

Point being, the above post is right. Some can take a while for sure!

My one and only Silkie at 4 and a half weeks ... "Ella" (obviously, I'm hoping she's a girl!!!!!!)

Certainly is cute, at any rate!!!

So cute! I hope you have a girl...but the comb is rather large for 4 1/2 weeks.

However, as we all know, they can certainly surprise us!

Well, if "Ella" proves to be "Elliot" - I may have to shop for more Silkies!!!! (Ella does seem to like kick boxing just a wee bit more than I would like to see from a girl as well ....

Maybe just a tough girl!

Oh Barb, who are you kidding?? You KNOW you'll have more Silkies by the summer!!!

I have a "tough" girl here, and she boxes the cockerels, and me too if I pick up another bird and it squeals! The little knothead!
