Charlie is definitely a cockerel and blue is a pullet. The other two I'm not sure of.

Thanks, that was I was thinking as well. I hope the other two are pullets!

This is my baby, I just adore her, she is so calm and easy going. I say she because that's what we were told when we got her, her name is Tommie and we sure hope she is a she. Of course my son named her!!! Lol

Still a little early to be sure, but if I had to guess, I'd say pullet. Also lovely.

Thank you, I'm just not very good at the waiting thing!!! I'm sure hoping she is a she!!! Her best buddy is supposed to be a girl too, and I'm hoping she is as well because those to can't live without the other, they peep when I take one away, silly babies!!!! Thanks again

My cuckoo silkie has white/pink skin. My others have black except my silkie mixed roo. Does this mean she's not pure?

It's common for cuckoo to have holes in their pigmentation. It can also be seen in their eye colour. This article explains .

I have a question about silkies. Are there two different sizes? I have always seen them listed as bantams. But, I have seen a lot of silkies that are larger than what I would consider a bantam at the poultry shows.

Also for spring 2016 does anyone have recommendations for bantam size bearded silkie eggs? or is it just a chance it on the size?
