This is exactly what I've been telling my DH! Silkies are hard to sex...you can't really know until they tell you themselves.So I need at least 2 of each color...or 3...or 4 lol! This chicken math is going to get me into trouble!
I keep reading that silkies tend to hatch early. Does that mean that they go into lock down early?
Good luck with your hatch Cynthia! I hope you get exactly what you're hoping for!
My chickies are at the age of brooding and my roo isn't "getting it on" with any of the hens. I adopting 5 babies and also took in a brooding hen who pecks at all my chicks now grrr. I know she is establishing that she is the ruler on the coop. We named her Queen Madea. Lol
Anyway I have a few questions that need answers to.. Why won't my only semi adult roo mate? Also Madea was very broody when we first got her. We gave her some eggs to sit on and she wouldn't stay with them. Mind you she was sitting on eggs she stole from other hens the day we got her.
Now I found 3 eggs that she hasn't been sitting on at all!
And the other hens.... Well they haven't laid their first egg yet so I don't think they would know what to do with them. Frustrated here. Hate to see these eggs go to waste.

Woah! That's amazing. I have no idea about your question. But how did you get the coloring? My mind is blown.would you all consider this smooth sizzle to be golden laced?? she is only around 3 months so she isn't fully grown by any means!!
