all very beautiful! cant wait till i can hatch out new birds only one silkie at the moment

I feel like my 2 week old Silkies are roosters. I hatched out 5 beautiful little fuzz balls; my first hatch ever, so they're a little extra special to me. I realize that Silkies are difficult to sex before they crow or lay, but they have been giving me that "roo-eye". Lol I can't explain it, but I will be so, so sad if they are boys. I need a BIG farm, where if I end up with a couple roosters, it just means I'll need to get more hens... I looked at the "beak sexing" some people swear by, but I couldn't find a whole lot of examples and the ones I DID find... Don't look good for me. It's going to be heartbreaking to have to rehome ANY and I'm going to end up taking applications for good homes. Lol

I'm in the same boat right now. I've got four that are absolutely darling. I think only one is a pullet

They say Silkies are impossible to sex until they crow or lay, so let's just hope we're wrong! BUT... This is Slimy Bob, our favorite. He's so friendly, goofy and absolutley full of personality. Tell me he doesn't have that mischievous roo look to him! It's his roo-ness that's part of his charm. He's the one either ninja kicking or mean muggin' in every. Single. Picture. AND look at his size compared to his sibling!
