Three buff silkie pullets

[BamaChicken]

These little girls are now 6 weeks old and have nearly feathered all in. I just took pics of the the girls but the boys are nice too. All clear. No dark feathering at all. I wish I had had a better place to pose them but they are round little fluff balls

Gorgeous! I want them. How do you know already that they are pullets?

Are you sure they are girls? The one on the right looks "rooish" to me!

They are girls. I look at the build, their featthers on the head grow all the way down to the beak. No comb visible. I will have to take some pics of the cockerels tomorrow so you can see the difference. Now I am not saying that on all silkies at this age you can tell but some you can. So far I have never guessed a pullet wrong. I have guessed a cockerel and it turned out to be pullet. I have hatched a lot chicks. Sometimes it is very hard to tell this early

Pure evil... all of those balls of fluffy lovliness... I am transfixed and mesmerized by their wickedness...Make the madness stop...

I love them all but the Buff ones just make my heart go PitterPatter. Beautiful little Buffs, Julie.

Those are sweet little buffs. Good job Julie! Buffs just have a way of stealing your heart.

They look really neat! I can't wait until the ones you sent me for Bammony hatch. They come out of the turner tomorrow.
