:running-chicken: Congratulations!

HAHA thanks!!!!
Major stress off of my shoulders now! PHEW!

I was 50% right 🙃 LOL! I'm actually surprised by the results. In the past I had an interesting result on a black australorp. She was vent sexed at a hatchery as female, but I started to notice male qualities....sent away for the DNA test, and the result came in male. However a couple of months late...

The results are in!!!!

BOTH FEMALE!

Wow, that's pretty good! Thank goodness!

Hahaha, the purring noise can be translated as "shut up, you idiot, I'm trying to sleep!" That's almost always a girl thing. Chirping to call others in for dinner, is almost always a boy thing. If LeeLee is pausing to chirp while eating, probably a boy. Oh boy, LOL! Well Audra does the purring thin...

Yeah I'm thinking the same way....but then Audra does the higher stance sometimes and confuses me. I was looking at the crest feathers and comb. Comb looks a bit wider on Leelee, and maybe slightly more raised and she's younger. Plus I am seeing little streamers starting maybe? Hard to tell! Ross, w...

LOL! Oh I hope pullets! I keep checking my email for the test results. It's torture!

Hi all! I recently acquired two silkies, LeeLee (white) and Audra (black). Leelee is a bit younger than Audra, maybe by a week or two. The breeder felt a bit confident that Leelee was female, and wasn't sure on Audra. About a week after I had Leelee, she wrote saying her and her vet were now thinkin...
