Thank you

Yes u r right, there are Silies. Anyone with an idea what sex they are?

The 2 Golden Coment I know too..................but the rest of the gang? The white ones schould be white Langshan ( they were marked as that @ TSC) but the other reds where marked as red pullets and then there were a couple breeds listed. I hope I got some RIR and some New Hampshire?

No one?

Guten Morgen! I lived on Hahn AFB, near Sohren for 4 years....a daughter born in Traben-Trarbach, along the Moselle....miss it so much!!

Love the chicks...you have quite to brood now! I have a black silkie and a couple crosses I am still trying to identify.

Its my first silkie, I hear they are hard to sex, so I am playing the waiting game also!

Please keep posting pics....we will see if we can identify. I also have a red one like yours, hops in my lap every time I go to the coop...
gentle as anything, someone told me she was a Production Red, again my first of those also.

Here is a pic of her

Thanks for showing the 'progress' pictures as the chicks get older. I always kind of wish there was a thread that showed chicks (or ducklings) as newbies and then what they look like all grown up, so one could see how color changes (or not) in the process.

p.s. Just saw the question about sexes of the Silkies. Hate to say it, but it's nearly impossible to tell in most Silkies until they are at waaayyy older (though I've had a couple of little roos who showed a bit more comb and especially cocky behavior early on). It seems to matter less to me when the Silkies turn out to be Roos, because they all seem to get along better than my other breeds and I can house the 'extra' roos together and they get along just fine.

there was another posted hoping someone savvy could put one together, most common breed, traits to help identify them, ( leg color, combs, toe count etc) and my suggestion was to post pics, 1-2 days old, and weekly, to help us identify ones we get that we have no clue what they are. Wouldn't that be great!
