Silkie thread!

My sizzles are 21 weeks old any guesses yet as to sex. No eggs and no crowing.

Here is a full body pic of Sebastiana I hope lol

Here is skyler. Little more shy than the other. (Unfortunately I the dog got Piccadilly last week I was sure he was a he)

Hello, I am a new Silkie Mom as of today. I've done lots of research but still can't tell/decide if two of my silkies are Males or not. The lady I got them from said they were hatched April 8th of this year (4-08-16). I feel like at least one is but still not sure. The lady I got them from said they were all female but I know she was trying to get rid of 2 males as well. Kind of thinking she may have sent a male or two with me because she knew I was new to being a chicken mama. Either way they will have a good home, just would like to know if they are males or not. This one is a little bit larger than the rest. The other one that I think could be a male looks very similar to this one but a little smaller. Thanks!

This is what the rest (the ones I believe are females) look like this

Both cockerels there.

I answered your other post in the introduction forum, but now with a photo of a female for comparison, I'm definitely going with cockerel.

The first one is a cock, the second one could very well be a pullet (female) but with silkies, you can't really be positive till you get an egg or a crow
lovely birds

I would lean towards cockerel in the first pic.

We've had so much rain here , high winds and flooding . A tree limb went through the middle of one of my coops. Now we all know how determined silkies are but check this SLW broody out.

Also managed to get the splash babies out for awhile.

Oh wow! That is a determined broody. Yikes, where are you gonna put the flock while you repair the coop? Hope ya'll stay safe out there!

Everyone survived, but because it was so wild I literally slung some food onto the pens and locked everyone up. Missed the hatched chicks and by the time I found them 48 hrs later they were very hungry and thirsty.
As luck would have it hubby's work just received shipment of a new hyperbaric chamber from the States and the crate it came in is going to make a very nice coop.
