Partridge. Very light one. I've had that happen from crossing two very different lines. Makes it harder to sex at this age. By looks, to me it could still go either way. Few more weeks and should be able to tell better.

Roosters are a pain in the rear. Separate pens with fencing between they can't fit their heads through.

I am so tired of breaking up roo fights. One of my white silkies was a total bloody mess about a week ago it seems unless I break them up they will fight till death. I've never let one do it but it seems a couple of them would if I let them. OMG no wonder silkie breeders are scarce. My roos are all in separate pens now. They don't like it but it's better than letting them continuously fight for hens.

They are both hens.. bunny my white silky is alfa even the big hens are scared of her..

I lost my Sweet Angel today. She was my first true bantam silkie and such a sweet heart. She was only 2 and a half years old. She was a wonderful layer and only went broody one time. She will be dearly missed. Her daughter Missy has some big shoes to fill.

Sorry for the loss of your pet.

Love them! They are so pretty maybe you can answer a few questions about my silkies. I am so glad to have found this forum. My husband and I just recently got 13 red hens and 2 silkies pair. Male and female. I'm pretty sure we also have a Roo in the mixed of the reds. They have been doing very well asjusting to their new home. When we first got them home the reds really picked on my Silkies, to the point I was really concerned for their saftey. So we figured we would build them there own little pen inside our main pen. Since Saturday my silkie (her name is Wilma and Fred is thr roo) has gave me 7 eggs so far. I have left them in there as we want to hatchsome. Will she eventually sit on them?Shes 8 months old, is she too young yet? They say that silkies are a great cuddler and like to be pet, not my silkies, everytime we go into the pen they go bananas. Is this normal? We are new to this and would love any insight you can give me. I know she may not go broody so how lonf should i keep the eggs in the nest for?
