Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[LynnaePB]

I own a scrunchie shop on Etsy called SaharaSageBoutique and I had thought about putting the scrunchies on my silkies for the listing! lol

Scrunchies on silkies sounds adorable!

If I get the chance I will totally do it! Muffin is the only one who is tame enough for me to catch and pose though! lol

I've got some that don't appreciate being caught either.

They are all so unique, lots of differing personalities.

I know what you mean! Little Sophie absolutely HATES me touching or getting near her when she is laying an egg, but if she isn't she's all fine and dandy!

Please ignore his dirty feet. He's a heavy digger and wears his feathers off as well.

Does anyone else have roosters that are basically spurless? Ashes here is 3 years old. Half my silkie roosters don't have any real spurs.

Mine didn't have spurs for over a year, but all five did get them.

Hello everyone! I have been trying to find pics of silkie chicks with crests and beards but I can't. What does a chick look like that you won't be able to see their eyes when they are older? I'm trying to figure these things out because I have started hobby breeding silkies and selling them as chicks. I would love to be able to tell my buyers what the chick may look like when older. Thanks so much and addicted to this thread!

Sorry for bombarding everyone with questions but I finally have silkie lovers to ask questions and I have a million in my head! lol. Anyways, this is Muffin. I'm pretty sure I know what gender IT is so I thought for fun I would let others guess.
What gender do you think Muffin is?

No such thing as asking too many questions!
Muffin looks like a pullet in this photo. How old is she?

It is 15 or 16 weeks old right now.

Hmmmm the tail, stance, and crest are kind of looking cockerel like to me. It looks like there might be streamers but I can't see the back of the crest well enough to tell. Comb isn't big but not that small either. Just from this picture I'd guess Muffin was a little male but I'd like to see the back of the crest to feel more confident about it.

I'll try to address your previous question in a moment, trying to find some chick pictures.
