Here are some updated pictures of the silkie crew. I believe you all were right and that Branch is a boy. Overall he just looks more masculine then Poppy and Lil Bit. They are more delicate and feminine in appearance. I know I said previously that if there was a male silkie I would not keep it but there was a tragedy this past week where my beloved BCM boy Drumstick was lost to a predator. With Drumsticks loss I find myself in a position to house another boy. Keeping Branch and 2 of Drumsticks sons will put me at 3 boys which I can manage. And to be perfectly honest, Branch is helping me heal over the loss of Drumstick. I've always had a soft spot for Roosters and Drumstick was my baby. I think Branch has sensed how upset I have been the past few days and goes out of his way to be in my lap when I'm outside. This morning he spent over a hour snuggling. At first he was preening both himself and me then decided to flop over and stretch out for a long nap. I can not begin to tell you how much I needed that. I also may be wrong but I'm starting to suspect that maybe Branch and Poppy are bearded, especially Branch. Anyway here are the new pictures. They are now 11 weeks old and starting to look more like a silkie and less like a deformed chicken.

Thank you. Branch is quickly becoming very spoiled. I discovered the other day he likes to come in and watch tv. He spent over 2 ours watching cold case files with me and never moved from the towel I had him on in case he pooped. Which he didn't. He's such a snuggle bug.
