No, 7 weeks. They hatched Sept 9th

Really! Wow they looked so big! Knowing that its really hard to tell just from pics but I'm standing by my guess that its a hen!

they are little peanuts compared to their brooder mates.

 

[fawkestheman]

Im sure! They just looked big in the pics! Are their brooder mates silkies and the same age?

The white one on the right looks like a roo but the others look like pullets for now.

No these are the only silkies i have. Theur buddies are all 7 weeks as well, a silver laced polish, silver laced wyandotte, EE, and salmon faverolle. They are also housed with my 20 week old EE 14 week old black cochin and 11 week old golden laced wyandotte.
