What a beautiful silkie! Also, LOL at the Polish photobomb

Thank you. Silkie is Chicken Nugget. The photobomb is Martha.

Is there a way to tell if silkies are bearded this young (a month old)? What is the earliest you can tell sex on silkies? If Juliet is a roo she will become Romeo but I'm not sure what Stella's name will be if she turns out to be a roo. Any ideas?

I think the beard you should be able to know whether there's a beard or not early on. I just had one hatch a couple days ago and I'm pretty sure it's bearded like its mama.

Stella's such a cute name! I named one of my silkie chicks Luna because it was born in Lunar New Year. However, I don't know what sex it is yet.

That's creative . Luna's a nice name. I named mine Magdalena just because I like the name

I have a black silkie roo and a partridge silkie hen who's chicks I've just hatched.. They're both hatchery quality and I was wanting to know if there was any way to breed that out of them and somehow get a fluffier chicken?

Yeah, mine are defiantly not SQ. I would like to get some SQ ones in the future. Mine I got form Meyer Hatchery.

I got mine from a local breeder! She only sells Silkies!

If it's pretty obvious that they are bearded mine must not be, but I will keep hoping. And thank you. I had juliet's name picked out for months but didn't know I was getting two and I picked her up and the name Stella came to mind. I'm hoping I'm clairvoyant and it means she really is a hen. Haha
