Almost 2 weeks since I've posted on here.. 410 missed posts - wow!

Anyway.. skipping ahead a bit. I need some opinions on my one little blue silkie that is 10 weeks old. I thought boy since 2 weeks, but now I'm on the edge of maybe I'm wrong..

I want to know what you guys think.















It's not a huge deal either way, but I'd still like to know

Does anyone feed their silkies fermented feed? I am thinking of using it as a supplement.

I fermented the feed for while, but 2 of 3 silkies developed sour crop. So I have switched to just wet feed. Not as beneficial as FF, but no waste like dry feed. I am doing this with my LF too. May go back to FF once I have the breeding pen done and no access to grass

If it is a girl I can borrow that rooster from my friend and continue my line.

So I kind of do hope it is a girl, but trying not to get my hopes up.

Yay! I'm dying to set my two blue hens with my blue cockerel. Hopefully in another month I can do this and hatch my own eggs.

That's a tuff one. No pronounced earlobes points towards pullet. But yet the beek has a lesser curve to it so that points cockerel. If I were to guess I would say it is a he. I'm sure everyone would love to know once you get a positive answer. Wait now i don't even know because it has close to no wattles and no squesshy comb. Now I have to know.

That buff is strange =) would be interesting to see what it looks like when it gets older! The other one may be a grey or a self blue, or even a splash possibly.

I have a buff with spots on his/her head, too! Wonder why?

I guess girl too! Everything looks feminine. She's very cute too!
