Griffin Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 I haven't a clue what this lot are! Opinions gratefully received but I fear I'll be in the dark for a while yet over the Silkies.

Daphne Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Dustin Hoffman is reminding me of Les Dawson in the 3rd pic Sorry I am completely rubbish at sexing. He/she has quite a girly pom pom (ie quite round and relatively even length feathers, not spiky) but on other hand is it just because its not grown out yet?? I think you have a lovely selection of youngsters there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 I'm praying that Dustin Hoffman is a girl, the hair do is looking more girl like now it's grown a bit more but I daren't let myself get attached yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phosphorus Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 No idea on the Poland and silkies. The lavenders ..... hmmn the first piccie makes one have a redder comb than the others but the individual piccies look a lot like girls to me. I will go for both girls for now. Here are my two lavenders: I think this is Lily (girl): This is Ben Korma (boy): My boy has more side burns than top knot if you know what I mean and is also starting to make the occasional crowing noise They are both 8 weeks.

Griffin Posted July 9, 2009 Author Share Posted July 9, 2009 And Dustin wants the sun to come back again please, doesn't he look miserable here? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 No idea if they are girls or boys but they are all well known to be hard to tell so I think you will be waiting a little longer That blue polands hairdo is fab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daphne Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 If she does turn out to be a she I'll be interested in how big she gets and what her eggs are like - size and productivity wise. I only have the bants and they're fab layers of largish eggs considering their small size. Very consistent as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tom123 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Lovely Poland - Girl Very 'girly' stance, like Daphne said a rounded crest. Araucana 1 - Boy Araucana 2 - Girl Silkie 1 - Boy as it has the bigger tuft as I earlier described how my silkie breeder friends tells them apart from the girls as they have a bigger tuft Silkie 2 - Girl, girly stance, small tuft etc. Thats just my guesses! Good Luck Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
