I'm getting pretty excited about these two splash (pullets I think). They will be 3 1/2 months next weekend. It's amazing how they suddenly go from the awkward bad hair day to looking like they just stepped out of the beauty parlor.

What do you guys think?

Beautiful! I love the splash Silkies.

Ok everyone! Im back. I am almost 90% sure I have 3 roosters out of 8 silkies. I hatched out 8 in December and one started crowing recently the other two have REALLY dark big combs with waddles! Ugh mad about the quality. Anyways though when my partridge was a chick someone on here told me that if they have eyeliner they are pullets if Im right at looking at this one and by the way it acts! It looks to be only a matter of time before he begins crowing.

So just to let you know the eyeliner means nothing! I am almost 99.9% sure that this silkie is a roo..... Anyways I was also wondering does the buff/partridge color breed true?

Ok here is my match up I though about doing...

Buff hen X a Partridge roo

What will the chicks look like? I dont have a buff rooster but I was wanting some more partridge and buffs. what will this make.

I also have a white rooster I could breed my buff hen too. What would that make? Thanks!!

They look really beautiful! I wish I could help in the critic but I don't know anything about the standard for beardless.
