Trio silkies getting festive

[Stef82]

I took it upon myself to take a few pictures of my 10 week old silkie chicks. Let me tell you, that was HARD! They kept wanting to run to my camera or my hands. I was able to get a few good shots, but man was this a pain! lol I still love them! Wish I knew which ones are girls or boys. I gotta wait another 5-10 weeks till I hear crowing or they lay eggs. But I have a good feeling the lightest chick is a rooster due to it's size. But I could be way off.

This chick below is the lightest one and this one was harder to control. He/She kept walking to my daughter.


Chick #2. This is the best picture taken out of all of them.


Chick #3


Chick 2 & 3 together.


I just love silkies! Fun birds to own and breed!

Take your finger and run it over were their comb should be.... If its real flat feeling then more and likely it's a girl. Also look at the feet...males often have more boyish bigger feet, hehe. Also start looking for long Spiky feathers in the topknot for boys. Very cute babies

I can't wait to take pictures if them when they are 15 weeks old.
