I know this is everyone’s favorite.
I have two Silked EEs. One hen and a rooster. My hen went broody and hatched one of her own eggs and a couple of other hens’ eggs. My Silked EE chick looks exactly like her/his father. Because of the silky feathers and bantam sizing, I cannot tell what she is, but I’m starting to lean towards male. Her tail feathers make me very suspicious, and she’ll peck at me occasionally when I try to pick her up.
My chick is 12 weeks old. Her father started crowing at about 15 weeks.
Mom has a “poof” on her head and the chick does not. The last picture is of dad, mom, and baby… they are impossible to get a good picture. Any experts want to weigh in on whether she’s a male or female?
