question about baby silkies
Our take
Ah, the delightful world of baby silkies! It’s always an egg-citing journey to watch your feathered friends grow, and it can be quite the mystery when one chick seems to sprout faster than the rest. If you've got a little silkies’ speedster on your hands, it’s natural to wonder if you might have a future rooster in your midst, especially since they were purchased un-sexed. At just about a month old, there are telltale signs to look for, such as size differences, feather development, and even behavior. Join us as we explore the clues that could help you determine if your fast-growing silkie is a little prince or just an enthusiastic chick!
