Thank you!!They do look silkied to me
how old are they when you can tell if they will have the smooth feathers? I believe these are 1-2 weeksSilkie is a breed, satin is a feather type. She probably meant your silkies will be smooth, not frizzled or fuzzy. Satin = smooth.
Here are a couple of my pet-quality satin silkie hens I have for example vs. one that isn't.
Feather types can be figured out now, (1 week usually). It's color and sex that takes a while. Color probably a month old, but I have some 3 weeks old I'm not sure of yet. Sex takes about 4-5 months.how old are they when you can tell if they will have the smooth feathers? I believe these are 1-2 weeks

I guess the wing feathers are what she was saying make them smooth? I’ve never owned silkies before we just wanted some fluffy chickensFeather types can be figured out now, (1 week usually).
