What cracked me up was seeing them swimming together.

And seeing him in his carseat in the car and at the grocery store!!

Can you find this show at a video rental place or on you tube? ???

do all silkies have BIG EYES?

seems like my silkies have way bigger eyes then my BO or BR chicks did...

I think so... Mine sure do

I think its sorta weird at first but mine are about 4 wks maybe?

(I bought mine when they were about two weeks)

And their growing into it!


Oh my gosh im SO glad my mom let me get them! Im pretty sure i have one roo and a hen

You'll learn to love them... pick them up alot so they'll let you hold them

I think their eyes just look bigger because they're all black.

I just discovered my 7 wk old buff silkie is growing wattles the same mulberry color as his comb. Does that mean for sure it's a roo? Do female hatchery silkies grow wattles at 7 wks?

My black silkie who is the same age still has a flat black comb. Not raised at all and no wattles. Does that mean it may be a hen or slow to develop?

I'm still guessing cockerel on the single combed one. The other is still debateable. The light toes on the one are just a defect. I have a splash rooster that throws them on a regular basis. About 90% of the time they go away and get to be normal colored just like the rest.

Don't worry, they do outgrow this awkward stage.
Here are some of mine in the same age group:

Give it another month and they will look like this:

And then by about 3-4 months they get to this stage:
