Sorry everyone, but I HAVE to ask
I read that their are people who are so experienced that they can tell the sex of a silkie by looking at them. I am a newbie but have been doing my research in order to be prepared for my first chicken, a silkie, who will be our little princess, indoor chicken pet. My biggest fear is ending up with a rooster. I don't live somewhere that a roosters crow would be welcomed, and I fall in love with animals immediately. So how do I get a chick to raise from a baby without getting my heart broken? If I had a friend with a farm I would be able to hand a rooster over to them knowing I'd have a good long life, but I know of no such person.
Is there a DNA test for chicks?
