(Back, from a lengthy absence. Real life took precedent for a long time. Back now, though!)

Recently, I picked up three buff/black mix Silkie chicks from a flea market in northern Georgia. Absolutely adorable, but I'm, of course, stumped as to their gender. One of them has a clearly vaulted skull, though, for what that's worth. I love them and they're very tame, though, but either way! I'm pretty sure they might still be way too young to tell anything, but anyone that wants to take a shot, be my guest. Otherwise, hey. Cute silkie pics.

'Bigwig' (he's obviously got the vault)

(No full body pic of Blackavar, I'm afraid)

No prize for guessing what book I might be a fan of.

Bonus fluffybum pic!

Thanks again!
 
Love those fluffy butts! They are so cute. As much as i love pondering silkie gender, they are just a bit young for me to hazard a guess. The best indicator at this point might be leg size. If one or two have thicker larger legs than the others, that may be a boy.

i just love silkies at that age, so pretty and dorky looking at the same time.
 
Those are darling pictures. Someone told me the ones with vaulted skulls are usually girls, but I have no idea if this is true.
 
beautiful! Give em another month and then post some pictures. I have a hard enough time figuring what mine are..LOL They are beautiful tho my flock is going to be a mixed color flock can't wait to see what surprising colors I'll get but I think the buff/black silkie mixes are a exciting color!
