Who remembers this adorable little gray chick, Sq**rt!? ✨🩶

Here’s a little update on them! 🥰 Sq**rt is now 9 weeks old and has turned into an absolute fluff! Because they were from my last hatch of the season and I knew I’d be growing this group of birds out fully, I never had any of them gender DNA tested.

I had some rotten luck with my grays this year. I only hatched 10, and 9 of them ended up being little cockerels. 🥲 Sq**rt was the 10th and last gray to hatch, and I’ve been playing the guessing game ever since!

I feel by this age I usually have a pretty good idea of who is male and who is female, but Sq**rt has a very girly-looking brother, so I could definitely be fooled! I’ve been keeping that in mind. 😅

BUT… I think I might have finally gotten my gray girl! Because to me, this little one is absolutely radiating girl energy. 💕 Attitude and posture are things I take into consideration, and by this age I usually start seeing that little “boy stance” come in, along with the bickering toward the other lads in their pen. Sq**rt has been acting like a little lady would.

So, I’m feeling pretty hopeful that I finally bred a gray girl! 🥹🩶

Just for fun, what do you guys think based on the photos. Boy or girl? 💙💗

I have a couple of test hatches going, and I’m so excited to have some of my first Penelope babies developing! 🥰

Penelope was my first white keeper pullet I bred after hatching her last fall, so these little ones will be my very first second-generation whites! 🐣🤍 I’ve got my fingers and toes crossed for some beautiful, perfect little babies. 🤞🏼🤍

It’s hot again… 🫠 My birds and I are sooo over it! 😮‍💨

it’s supposed to only be for the next couple days and then cool off. I’ve got all the fans running and putting ice out for all the birds again. 🧊 Hopefully this will be one of the last times this year. 😬🤞🏼

Anyway, look at this beautiful girl! I still haven’t given her a name but so excited to see a bird like this come out of my black pen. 😍 I’ll take five more just like her, please and thank you! 🤣

I kinda like the name Jade for her, what do you guys think?

Happy Sunday! I hope you all have a wonderful and restful day! 😌☀️

A couple of pretty pullets to brighten your Sunday! 🥰 The splash girl is one of mine, and the lovely dominant white girl is one I bred. My sister is going to be using her in her Paint program, she named her Lyra. 🖤🤍

I’ve got some show-conditioning questions! 🤔

When conditioning your Silkies for show, are you still taping their crests? Or is there a point when you stop before an upcoming show? I’ve seen mixed opinions on it. I sometimes worry that it may cause some breakage and/or damage to growing crest feathers.

What do you do when it comes to preserving their foot feathers? I’ve noticed that once my birds hit the 9-month-plus mark, there’s some noticeable breakage on their foot feathers. I keep their pens clean with very soft bedding, so I’m a bit stumped.

Then there’s the added annoyance of my more dominant hens getting their beards a bit plucked when challenging other birds. 🫠 I’d really rather not have to separate every dominant show bird into their own pen if possible. 🥲

Any other tips for getting your Silkies show-ready would be very much appreciated as well!

Have a beautiful day! ❤️

Happy Friday, everyone! I hope you all have the most wonderful weekend. 🫶🏻

These two beautiful grow-out pullets are full sisters from my end-of-April hatch. How could I possibly have a bad day when I have these two beautiful ladies to look at? 🥰
