[Anonymous]

Hi
I have my own idea's but this is my first time hatching silkies, I got the eggs from ebay and have been told they are hard to sex. was hoping some of you guys with more experience may have an idea of what sex these are, very commical little fella's what ever they are. i have 2 gold and 2 splash although 1 looks black to me :?:

i have 3 white baby sikies and am also having trouble, someone told me if they get blue comns and cheeks they are a hen and if they get red combs and cheeks they are cocks, but am sure when i visited the place i got my chicks from he had red and blue combed silkies so not quite sure, but if you do find out it will be interesting

***** got home last night and my 8 week old has now a large pronounced growth on the top of his beak and has got his wattles already, so he is a cock, have put him up free on this website so if you look at the pic i posted you can see the difference
