They are awkward looking, aren't they?

Do you see the mulberry comb popping up on the middle chick in that second picture? I have two that already have combs like that. Early onset roo-ness? Somebody in there is trying to crow already. The little mulberry combs are mighty suspicious...

Yup, those will most likely be roos. I had several of those my 1st generation. This years chicks, so far all have nice dark combs.

CityGirlintheCountry: Your Buffs are breath taking - you don't need that many cuties ... why don't you send half of them to me!

Where are you? Some of these babies (especially the roos) will have to go.

Both of my roos started with dark combs and ended up with mulberry colored combs. These two are starting early though. Must have gotten an extra dose of testosterone! Sheesh!

I'm in the Texas Panhandle.

I'd love to have any silkies, but I'd have to ask my mom!
