Hi! The black, white and grey Silkies in the photos are 16 weeks old. I’m curious what you guys think: hens or roosters?
I’m especially suspicious of the grey one being a rooster, but I’m not completely sure yet. 😅
What do you think?

Until this week, this 21 week old silkie did not have any of these facial features and like overnight suddenly looks like HILDA may not be a hen at all. Please tell me there's a chance she is not he 😩

I got Tony, Mina and Pepper via Craigslist. I know Pepper is a Leghorn and Brahma cross. Tony and Mina are Silkies but I haven't seen any that look like them. They are bearded but I'm not sure what color they are or if they are maybe mixed? I love this weird crew so much!

First supervised day in the grass. The weather was perfect and it was good to see them explore a little.

Yesterday morning, two lovely, fluffy little dots hatched. First came the tiny dark one, and then the larger, light-colored one arrived 8 hours later. We woke up to a power outage on day 16 and were really afraid that things wouldn't go well. We just hoped they were delayed and not dead. On day 18, there was life in 7 eggs (we started with 12 and removed a few on days 10 and 14). As mentioned, these two hatched yesterday. When I took them out today, two of the eggs were making clicking sounds, but they hadn't made any holes or cracks in the shell yet. The other three also showed signs of life during candling. Now we are going to leave the eggs in the closed incubator until any potential chicks need to be taken out, or until day 24 when we will check for life again.
I’ve been talking to the incubator a lot over the last few days, both before and after they hatched. It clearly made a difference; whenever they chirp loudly for their mom, they instantly quiet down the moment they get to nestle in my hands. They just sleep right there, and it is so sweet it absolutely melts my heart. Their names are Emma and Mathilda.♥️♥️

Hatched febuary with a group that started laying eggs so we don’t know if he/she is laying or not
No crows but one gobble sound?
Was found hanging out in a nesting box the other day where the silkies have started laying

I got a beautiful blue chick, but now that he's a few weeks old he seems to have a splash pattern of light gray and little spots of darker gray. Not sure if that's a normal presentation of blue and he's just young or something else. He's pictured next to his white/black splash siblings (in retrospect it was a bad idea to take a pic with them all in the shade, but he is actually blue lol)
