New to silkies! I got 4little chicks two black and two white. I know there are different colors, but they are starting to get their big feathers in an it's hard to tell. I also don't know wich are girls, and wich are guys? Haha

I noticed that there's a lot of confusion with the sex of silkies,have you ever heard of the ring test?it is used all the time with expensive parrots. You tie a wedding ring to a string(like,6 in. It doesn't really matter) hold it in the air,tap the critter in question with the ring(still in midair) and hold the string very still. If it wiggles side to side,girl. In a circle,boy. I think that's how it works.test it first on a known girl or boy so you know it's working,the wiggle might be the other way around. I hope this was helpful!! Please tell me if it worked for you!

i wish this really worked but we did an experiment on this in school and the ring goes in what ever direction you want it to no matter how hard you try to keep your hand still it still moves
