Griffin Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 These four are ten weeks old. I still can't decide what they are Any ideas? Silkie number 1: Silkie number 2: Araucana number 1: Aracauna number 2: The pair of them are muck magnets, I swear they've been rolling around in mud all day!

Redwing Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 No idea but they are stunning Those silkies look like the little troll dolls I had as a child Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 I'm no help either. I know what you mean about the trolls hair! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom123 Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 (edited) Silkie 1-girl Silkie 2-boy No idea with the aras tho both the same though! Maybe 2 girls! Good luck Tom Edited July 26, 2009 by Guest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted July 24, 2009 Author Share Posted July 24, 2009 Silkie 1 has a lovely thick bouffant Silkies really are an acquired taste aren't they? I used to think they were right up there with TNNs for ugliness but I now think they're 'interesting' looking Emily loves them though and will fill the entire garden with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurmurf Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 what lovely chickies! We've got younger araucanas and a silkie and i hope they grow up as pretty as yours I know what you mean about an acquired taste though - I now absolutely adore TNNs and silkies (oh and Malays too!)

teri Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 i agree with tom first silkie a boy second one a girl. i have a silkie bantam(i think she is a hybrid?) called beauty she is a stunner and has a great personality.... also has made a brilliant broody as you can see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chickvic Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 They are seriously gorgeous No idea what sex they are though, the 2 silkies are quite different though aren't they? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 no idea, but gorrrgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solopuff Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I'd say silkie 1 a girl and 2 a boy going by their pom-poms and crown area. I think your 2 aras are girls - my two boys were very red in the crown area by 10 weeks Congratulations! They are gorgeous! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted July 25, 2009 Author Share Posted July 25, 2009 I'm beginning to think Silkie 1 is a girl, 2 a boy. Look at their combs. 2 is more bumpy and just more there than 1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gem_Seb Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Ive just hatched some Silkies and they are now 16 weeks, going by what mine looked like i would say Silkie 2 is a boy and Silkie 1 is a girl. Not sure about the others but they are all lovley! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tidygirlsuk Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 I have no idea on the sex of them. But they are all so so cute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
