They are such a sweethearts! I understand why are you angry. Those two are girls, but I don't know about showgirl. I was never good at sexing silkies and showgirls.

That is a pretty little SG..and yes, it takes a while before you can know .. for sure..about those stinkers what sex. I can take an uneducated guess by how I do it at home. See how the top is feathering back, and not foreward? And that comb is quite wide? At this point...I would guess boy.

Good for you for taking them in! They will be much happier. For sure.

Those little babies are so lucky you found them! How adorable! I have a neighbor who underfeeds his chickens and then can never understand why they look so skinny and don't lay well. He thinks that "free ranging" in their all dirt run should be sufficient to reach their nutritional requirements. I took care of his chickens for two weeks and he was stunned by how healthy and lively they were when he returned, and all I did was supplement their feed with extra produce from my garden and some grubs and grasshoppers I'd caught.

Nice save! Which auction did you go to? Your girls are very cute.

A lady came over today to pick up her chicks. She said, "Oh you have Turkens! I want some!" I hatched 7 yesterday, but I'm keeping them all. They are bigger and way cuter than my last batch. I didn't think that was possible.

Need to be sure that they are not also underweight due to disease (coccidia/worms). Also they may be older than 3 months.

Phage, I'm T O T A L Y agree, Caution is best.. . . . how can I tell age ?

I always treat New ones for worms . . and Flock as needed. Once they get Healthy, Fatter, Yeppers they're In 30 /30 Quarantine. Inside now, "Sick Room "
