I am near Plattsburgh , N.Y. I don't think you are too far from me.

I read that a cuckoo silkies gender can be identified by the spot in the back of the head. If so what do you think? I think it’s really big and is a boy.

I'm thinking that's just for the barred gene not the cuckoo gene,

Guys this is day 24 of egg incubation for Silkie chicks. The temp has been a straight 99.5, and the humidity was always different. This is my first time hatching eggs, and so I need some help please!!! There is only 1 that I think may hatch, but I don’t know if I should assist hatching or what!?!?!?!? Please help me....
Also, I cracked open 2 of the eggs and there was nothing but yolk.

Sound infertile

So does that mean that the sex can’t be identified yet?

I am puzzled on the color of my silkie chick. Has anyone seen this pattern?

If anyone in NY is interested I have a few beautiful silkies chicks left. Hatched 1/18/19, weaned off heat and doing well outside. These babies are friendly and eating out of my hand. Picture of adults are my flock I hatched from. I’m in Harrisville. Sorry I don’t ship. Asking $15 each but open to reasonable offers.

For the most part yes, sometimes depending on the coloring of the parents you can.
