Ok so fair will be here at the end of the month. As the poultry leader I always get to do the guessing game of what is it on breed with certain kids' entries. The other guessing game is- Is that a pullet or cockeral silkie. I know we just won't know for sure until it crows or lays an egg. So does everyone else just assume it's a cockeral if it has a large crest and a pullet if a small one?
On another note but still a silkie subject. I got a self blue hatchery chick with a huge crest, pink facial skin, and not black eyes like the rest. I plan on culling that chick plus another that is darker but still too pale in skin/eye color. I swear the big crested one looks like it's part polish. Is that something someone would do on purpose to get a bigger crest? The other silkie chicks won't hang out with them, it's like they know they're different.
