Silkie thread!

Thanks how long should I leave them in the house before I bring them back to the coop? I don't want them getting sick from the cold.

They will need to be completely dry to the inside fluff. The outer fluff is not as important as dry inner fluff, they can get wet on the outside if they are dry on the inside and be fine. Its when they get soaked to the skin that they can get chilled.

Sorry, I meant to reply to this one.. yes, Partridge. It could turn out to be Partridge or Silver Partridge, the color on that picture is very blue so its hard to see if it has the gold/yellow necessary for Partridge. Very Cute!

These are my beauties

I'm suspicious of this one its the fuzziest and biggest of the bunch

I think this one will be blue

they are 5weeks. When can people make s good guess on their sex? I know the forum says at least 4weeks but idk might still be too difficult. Are the biggest snd most feathered out typically cockrals

this is the blue it has some white in it

Lovely colour, good feathering on the feet.

Can y'all help please. I have got these Partridge as chicks in February at 9 months I'm still not sure on their gender. They are non bearded and I assume pet quality. It is windy and the lighting isn't great in some of the pictures. Their earlobes look white in the pics, but are shiny iridescent blue.

#1 in front #2 in back.

#2








I thought for a long time they were both pullets then I got a good look at #1's wattles. Until today I thought I had a pair, but then I was at a friends who got chicks the same time I did and her roo has a much bigger comb and wattles than mine. At 9 months neither have crowed or laid a egg....
