Hen or rooster?
Pepper

Clove

Nutmeg

Basil

Cinnamon

I'm pretty sure I know which are hens and roosters but I thought I'd ask for your opinions, too.

Still too young to know for sure about I anything yet, but Pepper and Basil look like pullets and Cinnamon looks like a lil Rooster to me. I LOVE the names!!! And they're all so pretty!!

I had set 12 eggs  under two broody silkie hens, went out this morning and all 12 have hatched....

CONGRATS!! Not many bators can get that good a hatch rate out of silkies!

Pics??

can someone sex my silkie for sure? 1 year old. In a seat because she can't walk due to wry neck. the long neck feathers makes me think a male but the tail isn't real full like my other rooster. But I had cut it to help keep her clean when she couldn't stand alone. Also she has never laid an egg or crowed since she has been in the house. Nov 2 2015

Sadly today "chicken" (his name) passed away. RIP my baby

Thank you! I think both blues are cockerels and I really needed blue hens.
