My silkie is starting to feather out a little bit more! I feel like the feather on the neck are starting to look like streamers? What do y'all think?

***My heart goes out to the person who lost their babies.. The same thing happened to me and it ripped my heart into pieces.

Decide what color you want. Can't really sex silkie chicks (unless dna tested) so good chance for males. The good thing is that silkie roosters are usually pretty friendly. Silkies can just be hard to sex until they grow up. Partridge is the easiest because males color in different than females at the juvenile molt. The solid colors are much harder to tell.

Good to know! Thanks!
