Lol thank you! I'm slowly figuring it out how hard it is to tell. These are my first silkies. 😍

This is mostly just for fun. 😉 They are only 5 1/2 weeks and 3 1/2 weeks The first two pics are of the 5 week olds. One is a crossbeak and is probly why she is smaller. The 3rd pic is the 3 week old which I'm sure will be super hard to guess what it will be. I'm gonna be doing gender testing so...

Thanks for the advice! I'm hoping it doesn't get down to -30s again. 😭

Hey thank you! I'm wondering if I should add a radiant heater when it's in the negatives. I only worry about starting a fire... I might need to add more Ventilation. It's a pretty good sized coop for just 4 hens.
