Cooks Posted February 28, 2009 Share Posted February 28, 2009 I have no idea but they are gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feemcg Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Gosh, I'm afraid I think the majority of them are boys .....I think Fajhita might be a girl, and have no experience of Silkies though. I hope I'm (and probably am ) wrong! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BethBubbles Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 It would just be awful if they were all boys! Based on their personalities and what I've been told to look out for I think: Mr Fantastic - girl Stewy - boy Pingu - boy Dave - girl Fajita - girl Mo - boy Bruno - girl Large Lumps - boy Captain Jack - boy Oscar - girl Still not sure though! I'll let you all know when they finally decide what they want to be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've looked on endless websites and even asked a vet (who did say we would not be able to tell for a while) but every time we make a decision, they appear to dramatically 'change sex'. It's hilarious! Almost as though they are laughing at us thinking 'ha ha, they think I'm a boy, silly people'! They're six weeks now and I still couldn't even begin to make an accurate guess. Does anyone know at what age you can tell their sex? I've heard stories about them 'changing sex' right up to six months but surely this is unusual. Our boys will be going to live on a farm and I will be so sad to see them go. Lets hope for ten out of ten girls! I watch a lot of documentaries and such and apparently boys have shorter length feathers and girls are long but this is only in hybrid chicks not in true breeds I wouldn't use that as a certainty though but worth a shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
