Silkie thread!

We have no local breeders and I'm iffy on hatcheries. I've gotten silkies from hatcheries and they always die or never lay
I see your problem. at the moment im waiting about a month for my silkie to start laying, but if you dont have fertilized eggs by then, I can keep you posted. Ive got a white silkie pullet and a buff silkie roo, his dad was a red and his mom was a buff, so his chicks may have red or buff leakage, and my white silkies mum was a lavender, and her da was a white roo. so their babies would be mighty pretty, so yeah. ill keep you updated if you want ^^
 
can anyone help me on silkie sex? I have one buff pullet\roo that is starting to have a suspiciously large comb and wattles.
I posted on the silkie sexing thread, 2 people said roo, but I would like more input. Thanks!









if (s)he is a roo, than I will have 4 roos. "his" behaviour is very hen like, all the confirmed roos pay "him" no attention and they just walk past each other peacfully, so i'm confused.

it looks like a roo to me but experts with know for sure
 
I know this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find the answer when I search. How old are Silkies when they begin to lay?
