That is sooo darn CUTE...​

Thanks!! It's the only way I could get it to sit still for a photo... Everytime I would set it down on the table, it would bounce and hop like one of those mexican jumping beans I use to get as a kid.. We laughed so hard my ribs were hurting.

Everyone has such cute silkies! I can't wait to get some of my own! Is there a way to sex them at only a couple of days? Or at least a way to take a fairly good guess? We arent allowed roos DX so if there is a way to tell if it is a pullet or roo would be awsome!

Nope, Sorry! Silkies are hard to sex. You usually can't tell until either around 5 months or until it crows or lays an egg.

OMGosh so adorable!

*chuckles* That got me thinking about my new set of Paula Deen measuring spoons... they're red, and the end of the handle is shaped like a rooster!​

You can send in a feather sample for DNA sexing just like a parrot. It generally costs about $20 per sample. Otherwise you wait and keep guessing for months.....
