Silkie thread!

I have mystery silkies I guess. Haha
I've never even heard of spotted buffs. Can't wait to see how it gets its feathers in over the next could weeks

I don't care all that much what they end up looking like they're all gorgeous to me as long as they are female.

Lol yes they make the most amazing pets. Just watching them feather out is exciting.

Alright, I'm looking for guesses as to whether Tootsie here is a roo or a hen. About 15ish weeks old. A few weeks ago I thought I saw streamers, but then the rest of the crest caught up and it's a mostly even crest again. As for behavior, I'm stumped. S/he's very sweet with me, but has attacked cats and big 7lb hens who aggressively approached his/her tiny bantam friend that s/he adopted. Is this protective roo behavior (I've never had a protective roo that didn't also see me as a threat, so I'm a little confused) or is it protective adoptive-mom behavior?

I am thinking possibly a roo because of how his head hair ( the name for that has skipped my mind at the moment ). It swoops back when a hen's usually us like a poof ball on top of he head.

I meant to reply to your post, where are you located and how many silkies do you have for sale and what colors?

I have BBS that I will be hatching but I don't ship. We are considering getting NPIP if it is worth it but for now we just do local pick-up.

My little guy is still doing okay! Feel like he/she hasn't grown much but running around with the rest and wing feathers are coming in.

Question for all you other Willie owners out there. How long after a hen stops brooding (no eggs hatched) will she start laying again?
I ask because I got a hen who had just finished Brody when I got her. One more week and I will have had her a month. She hasn't laid a single egg for me yet

I have had mine take anywhere from a few weeks to a few months just depends on the hen and if they molt after it takes longer , just make sure u give her good food fresh water and extra vitamins, she will probably start soon
