Congrats on your little alien silkie babies!
They are the most unchicken of chickens. We love photos of Silkies on this thread, if case you haven’t noticed!
Agree seeing wattles this early is not a positive sign. But don’t give up hope yet! You never know.I am holding out a little bit of hope.. but red at 3 weeks is not a good sign
Update on my juveniles!
Hanabi is looking to be a pullet, thankfully. No sign of wattles or large comb at three weeks of age anyway. Feisty little thing, hard to get photos she does not stay still for a moment! Amai and Eko are feathering in nicely. Eko is one month old today. Amai is about seven weeks of age.
They are on the patio brooder at night and outside in a small covered pen during the day if it’s not raining.
I kept one silkie to keep Hanabi company and her name is Yuki which means snow in Japanese.
Two more have hatched over the weekend and I have three more in the incubator that should be hatching soon.
Have a great Monday, fellow silkie enthusiasts!

Darn.. Flower's wattles are tiny, but beginning to drop down. So i think she is very likely a he. But he has a home until he starts crowing. Ive had really good luck finding good rehomes, so not worried about that when the time comes. But he and Bambi enjoy each other's company 
You might need a similar aged replacement, so Bambi still has some company if/when Flower has to move out.Darn.. Flower's wattles are tiny, but beginning to drop down.

Do not give me any ideasYou might need a similar aged replacement, so Bambi still has some company if/when Flower has to move out.
. Once Flower flies the coop, I'll add my coop extension with a divider so she and the other girls can get used to seeing each other before full integration. I think itll work well, i do notice the birds of a feather flocking together.. Minnie and Daisy are inseparable.. both D'uccles, and when I had my 2 silkies, they were always together. Right now my splash cochin, Elsa, is a bit of a loner.. so hopefully she and Bambi will pair up.I liked Bambi as a name when Flower was going to be the friend.. but now im thinking Ariel, so she can be a red headed princess. I know i should name her Anna.. but i dont want to.
Plus Ariel sounds more exotic, like Elsa.
