Curious about peoples’ guesses for gender for the very white, prettier silkie. There are only two in the flock and they get along very well so I figured it was a male/female pair, but looking today it looks more like a rooster…would two roosters get along well if they were the only birds? She/he has a beard so I cannot see the comb.

Agreed. Both boys. The lighter one needs a little beak trim.🙂
Oh really! I was just looking at that too. They are out in the driveway so will that file it? I noticed he was dragging his beak on the cement a couple of times. Otherwise I will have to look that up because I have no idea about that! Thank you for mentioning it! The interesting thing is, I commented on his beak from when he was one day old. It has always been a little odd .

If you get someone to help you, you could just use human nail clippers and trim the top beak only. I have to trim my Silkies’ beaks periodically, usually every few months as needed. If they have access to hard surfaces they will wear it down on their own. I keep cinderblocks in the runs but it doesn’t always help enough.😊
