Believe it or not she is a very sweet and quite girl given her massive size compared to them. If it's treat time they will even run her off sometimes, funny to watch too.

I only have a few silkies but they range in age from 7 months which is a decent size all the way down to 2 months and they are all in with her.

I also have my young buff bantam pullet that I will be showing in with them as well so no feather damage for her either. I have come to the conclusion that all of the silkies are pullets so maybe that's why they all get along so well?? Oh and the silkies, well they belong to my young daughter, a breed of her own that she can start to show this fall in Jr.'s.

I think he is ready to breed now, unless he is too docile.....

My Joy babies are now 3 months old. I haven't really been looking at them because I thought I was going to lose them all. I lost one and some have strange feathering so I know I am not out of the woods yet....but I was wondering their gender
#1 is very demure and was getting picked on by a Swedish flower hen rooster...which has been culled

#2

#3

#4 my obvious cockeral, he looks like a roaster underneath as he has no feathers

#5 the biggest one

Any help with their gender is appreciated

Eta- unfortunately for me I have a feeling I have one pullet and 4 cockerals..hope I'm wrong

I guess I killed the thread

I agree with you. 1 girl and 3 boys. They look very nice and I'm glad they didn't get sick.
