Captain Karnage Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 So these are my new birbs I got to add onto my current flock, right now they should be ready to join by August The black one is a frizze/l The white one is a wyandotte The brown one is a buff cochin and the tiny white one in the corner is a silkie, I wont be naming it for a while because silkie chickens can't be sexed at birth due to their feathers, and it might be a rooster. Looking to give them FE related names like my other birds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nym Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Name the black one Naesala, the two white Reyson and Leanna and the last one, you guess it, Tibarn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rezzy Posted March 19, 2019 Share Posted March 19, 2019 Are the other three girls, besides the one you said couldn't be sexed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally you can check with their wings a day or 2 after hatching as boys will have strait feathers and girls will have curved, silkie feathers are essentially fluff, as far as I know they're the only breed with this problem. I won't know if she's a boy or a girl until around June/July. 3 hours ago, Corrobin said: Tiny white one, Sara. that's my dog's name Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pengaius Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 If they're all Female you could name them Minerva, Palla, Catria and Est Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoncat Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Well there's another way to sex them, but it's gross and traumatizing for the poor things...I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As in Coq Au Vin- fancy French food begun as the French peasantry's way of using up tough and chewy old birds- soak them liberally in wine. Generally calls for rooster, even if hens work and are more commonly used nowadays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azure the Scale Tipper Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 You can name the Silkie a unisex name. Like Morgan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
