Edit: I re-read your post - is the picture a cockerel? Sorry from this angle he looks all pullet 😂 And he doesn’t have his red comb and wattles yet! Original post: What a gorgeous cuckoo pullet!!!! Ugh you’re making me want to try and get more cuckoo eggs! I had 1-2 in with my Bobbi order but...

I agree with @2ndTink keep the adorable frizzle and rehome the NN roo. That frizzle is so beautiful! It reminds me of two frizzle chicks that I have that are “silver laced satin” they don’t have the awesome cuckoo tail though 😍

They are both so so pretty!!!! I think for me - if I was going to use the roo for breeding - I would probably have a slightly easier time letting him go because of the orange leakage on the head - I try to avoid leakage when possible, I know that a lot of Roos have pretty significant leakage...

Oh they are gorgeous Debbie!! You should keep a few to grow out and see what they look like!😉 I do think the first is either blue or blue splash and then I would go with your judgement on the rest being chocolate or mauve as I have never had a chocolate or any variation of them! I have tried a...

Thank you @GirlsHuntToo and @Debbie292d you guys have given me a little hope!! Here are a few random pics I had. The first is a NN with very flat crest. The other NN has a better poof but I don’t have a pic of it. The second is one that looks like a girl based on the comb - I think this...

@GirlsHuntToo here are my 9 weekers - comb pics only. Maybe you can give your insights! Thanks!!!

I have a post for them and I will tag you in it now! It only shows their combs though. Thanks!!! https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/who-wants-to-guess-9-week-silkie-sex-based-on-combs.1622033/#post-27710507

Are you basing off of something besides the combs? I have a bunch of silkies this age and convinced they are all males because of how their combs look… some look just like 3+4 in these pics. I would love to be wrong and have some of mine be girls 😂

Hey just wondering if you know the genders of all your chicks now and what you ended up with? I have 9 chicks and think that 8 are cockerels at 9 weeks, but I’d love to be wrong! Haha but I’m also tempted to rehome some of them right now so I don’t have a ton to get rid of at once.

That is strange that the one with the smallest comb has the fastest growing wattles! I’m eager for an update when you know for sure!

I love your plans Debbie!!!! That is so exciting!! When you said lavenders were you talking about the porcelains or are you actually going to be getting some lavenders??? :fl:fl

Interesting article, though I believe the Bible and thus that animals were created and then told to multiply, so I don’t really agree with the scientific view on this one!

Thank you so much for that info! That is so interesting about the body fat! I went ahead and stuck a few eggs under each of the two broodies and also put some in the incubator today. If they break, I’ll transfer them to the incubator! The new chicks seem to be doing great with their mom and the...

So cute Deb! That is amazing that you were able to raise a singleton in a brooder! Good job and he turned out just gorgeous :love

Thanks! It has been a few years since I had babies so I have forgotten what they are supposed to look like at this age. Maybe I should try to get rid of a few of the cockerels now - I *definitely* do not need 8 black silkie Roos 😂 It’s kind of funny because as chicks I would have guess that...

Thank you, it was heartbreaking for me as I have wanted blue cream and lavender for so long now. I have considered ordering more from Bobbi but the timing hasn’t worked out and now I’m about to start my incubator for the last time of spring. So maybe next year I will be able to order some more.

Where from? I am still crying about the blue cream eggs that I had from Bobbi that shrink wrapped and I lost them. One made it out alive but died shortly after, it was so weak after the shrink wrapping. Oh and I did get one chick out of the blue cream eggs but it’s a black chick 😆 No idea how...

Oops while I was typing my huge long breeding info for paints I see that you already know all of that info from your last couple of responses to people 😂 if you don’t have a black rooster you could ask Bobbi to put in some black eggs for you 😉 Or, don’t you have some black mottled?? The mottled...

Oh my gosh!!! I am so excited for your Bobbi eggs!!!!!!!!!!!!! Ahhhhh I can’t even wait! Isn’t she so nice? Lol I love her! I hope you get a whole bunch of gorgeous porcelains so I can see all the pics and be extremely jealous 😂 Seriously I can’t wait to see her babies when you hatch them. Also...

Thanks so much!
