Hello, I am a new chicken owner with a while silkie rooster and 3 babies. I may have the babies dna tested but I wanted to test out my guessing and from others. I really want 2 of the 3 to be pullets (fingers crossed)
Please comment with guesses. Black, showgirl, and grey
Thank you bunches! Love my chicks

So, adorable!

Unfortunately, with silkies, you'll never know until they are around 3 months old, sometimes 4. Occassionally, you can get an early squawker trying to crow, but the pullets won't lay until they are at least 5 months old, most of mine are around 6 months, some 7.

The only thing you can do until then is guess, and there's a 50% chance you'll be right! :)

Oh, and by the way, welcome to BYC! :frow
