Well back in July we bought 6 chicks. All suppose to be female. We already had Dodger (male) and Angel (female). We thought we got all female. Then Penny actually ended up being a Rooster and now we just figured out this morning that Lucy is a rooster too. She even crowed! So it’s Linus now! lol! So we have 3 hens, and 3 roosters. Two of ours died (they were hens). We were kind of bummed with the roosters because we want hens (eggs!!) They are suppose to sex them, but I guess they messed up. Hopefully ours in Feb/ Mar will be what we order this time!
Still looks like a “girly” Lucy to me! Oh well! But silkies can have the feathers like this on top & some LOTS more!
We had that happen with ours. We ended up with 3 that turned out to be roosters. WE were bummed because they were our favorites too but we had to get rid of them. They were just not trustworthy around the kids.

Are you going to keep all the roosters?
I don’t really know why we wouldn’t so far…. they seem to be fine and they aren’t mean (none of them). So…. I guess we will. I SURE do hope we get all female this next time around. Kind of want to get LOTS OF EGGS!!! Dodge is still very sick so we’ll see if he makes it!
