Hi guys, first off I meant to make my username Birdie (the name of my first chick) but my phone autocorrected it without me noticing. Anyho, I’m brand new to raising chicks. I’ve spent countless hours on this forum though and have learned a ton! So thank you! I have 2 chicks, Birdie and Fifi. Splash Sumatra and white silkie. Was hoping for a splash silkie and thought Birdie was white but ended up splash. Go figure!
Birdie is 5 weeks old and although I know it’s fairly early to tell what sex she is I’m hoping you can give me your input and let me know what you think since I know there’s a lot of experienced owners and breeders here. She is very feisty and bossy but I did get Birdie 2 weeks before getting Fifi. I think that’s just part of her breed but I am worried because her beak is getting a little pink. Might be because she lives inside still since she’s so young and doesn’t get natural sun? Maybe you guys can help by seeing her pictures. Also, some of her tail feathers look pointy but they’re not. Her dark splash markings make a v-shape on her white feathers aka they’re 2-tone. She’s also a hatchery chick...didn’t know there were such things as chicken breeders until after I got them, silly I know. But they’re just pets anyways! Hopefully me next few will be from a good breeder if I can find one local in SoCal. Please tell me your thoughts! I greatly appreciate it!! Thanks!
