The Sizzle Thread!

[why do birds]

Thoughts on sex of these? They are 6 weeks, from left black silkie, frizzle sizzle, and smooth sizzle.

The smoothe sizzle looks like a roo, the silkie a pullet and not sure abt the frizzle sizzle. They are still pretty young too so wait until their crowns feather out and the combs mature a bit more.

Hello all! I currently have Silkies and LF Cochins and want to broaden my flock. I am looking for young sizzles and will be attending the Newnan, GA chicken show this coming weekend. Will any of you be attending and bringing birds to sell? If so, I'd love to correspond with you over the next few days and hopefully make arrangements for a sale. If not, any information on where to get birds is greatly appreciated! Would really love some laced or penciled varieties but am open to anything. Thanks in advance for your help!

Are sizzles easier to sex than silkies? Not doubting, just wondering because you mentioned he was only 7wks and a roo. I'm hoping to hatch some frizzles and sizzles this summer for the first time. I think the earliest I've ever been able to determine the sex on a silkie was 8-9 weeks.

He IS very nice looking by the way.

Thank you, Yes I do somewhere I will post it when I find it....im not sure if it is a roo or hen yet any guesses would be great!

he is 2 times bigger than my silkie hens. he also had a huge comb hahahah

I test all my chicks using my rooster test I had made up. I found out at 2 weeks old one of my little crosses loved to sing his heart out! from then on, I leave a suspected roo with a for sure hen and wait for a crow. so far squidgy and Cadbury II have not passed it yet, but I can clearly tell they are roosters

So these are my baby chicks, the first one is Kahuna, she's a partridge sizzle and about 11 weeks, the second is Colombia, my silkie(?) rooster who thinks he is the most fabulous chicken around, and the third is Almalfi, my black sizzle hen. Colombia is 17 weeks along with Almalfi, they have never been apart in their lives. Just sharing the pics got switched around, but descriptions should help
