Week old Silkie Babies

Oh BTW, how would I know if it was a roo before the crowing starts?? Any giveaways with silkies? Thanks!

so cute! Mine are just starting to come out of that 'awkward phase'.

I love their little brushy tails! They have definately taken over with their evil silkie ways...
 
LUVMYCHICKS, You can 't always be certain but their are some traits and signs. I will take a close up pic tomorrow and show you what makes me think I have a cockeral and a pullet in some three week olds, although I have thought conehead was a boy right off and I think I will be proved right on him.
 
So cute! I love Silkies, yours are beautiful. Mine never had a poof on his head ??? He is non-bearded, does that make a difference?
 
If all three of Jen's eggs make it, I'll have a buff, white, and cuckoo to add to yours. I don't know much about cuckoo, but I'll need the black, won't I? I hope the one blue egg makes it. I love blue chickens.
 
From my understanding you will need a black to work with the cuckoo. YOu can also breed black to white and create the now popular gray coloring.
 
They are so cute. I can't wait until mine hatch. They are due to hatch Dec 20. The others I hatched alittle over a week ago are growing like weeds. Keep you up dated on the ones in the bator.
