Silkie thread!

I know they are too young to tell for certain, but I'm thinking all four may be Roos. One of the partridges I'm still holding out hope for. Opinions? Please tell me I'm wrong and there are three hens and one roo!

White

Black? Blue?

Looks like a girl all right! Love that first picture! I have a babysitter pullet who takes care of the chicks just like a mom and roo would. Shes only 4 mos and been doing it for several weeks now.

So cute! Silkies are awesome!!

So cute I bet Doc will be a very good mommy. She came from the best broody I have ever had.

My new babies enjoying the beautiful weather.

Also I forgot to ask if anyone has an opinion on quality of these two. I just got them yesterday from a breeder. They are 4ish months old. One hen one roo, so I've been told. It's hard to tell sex I know. The roo has 4 toes on one of his feet, so I got him as a freebee. I love him though. He is the only one that had that.

Seems about right.

Hey everyone I was just posting here because no one seems to be interested. My only white silkie and hen was killed the other day . Don't know how but I found her in the yard. I'm so upset and anyway I have 6 standard chickens I would love to trade for a hen. Doesn't have to be show quality. Whoever is interested would get 2 buff Orpington hens one too and two barred Plymouth Rock Roos and one hen. I just want one white hen silkie. Can anyone help me out?

Glad you posted here. I've found that people here tend to be more empathetic, friendly, and helpful than other list I'm sorry about your Silkie. I'm wanting another white hen also. Mine was also killed. Wish I could help you out with that!

Did you change your profile name? Or am I just getting old?

Quote: I have not been able to tell the sex of my silkie yet. But she also has 4 toes! I wonder how common that trait is?? Also if maybe only the males have it and mine is a boy? Hope not!

Do you have a picture?

I did. I noticed someone else in chickendom had started using a name like mine. Mine was established in 1999. No money for a trademark. Just a silly way of claiming it
