OMGAWD - MILLIE ( my homey looking avatar SG hen ) & BLACKULA the SG roo,
have made the most HANDSOME little STRIPPER boy evah - I am Totally IN LOVE!!!

I'm pretty sure he's a male, because he was screaming, fighting & causing alot of drama when I tried to take these pics
BUT he is SO handsome, I could have kissed him!!!
Those eyes are amazing (*o*)
I got a front shot so you can see there is NO BOWTIE ~ Yippeeee
This is my 1st home hatched STRIPPER - he will be dubbed "MAGIC"

Seriously adorable. He should be a house chicken.

What a little cutie pie!

:running-chicken: Okay...seriously cute..but is that really a chicken?....

PoultryPrincess...we just picked up a 'stripper' from Frances this weekend. We have named him Channing for obvious reasons. We thought it was HILARIOUS, until we had to explain it to my daughter

He's seriously adorable!!

He almost makes me like the way NN birds look. Definite personality! By the way, how can you tell it's a cockerel? Looks girly to me lol

I was "hoping" for a pullet, but this little guy was kicking, screaming & causing drama the entire time I held him....in a BIG way.
He was hatched July 7th, so he's like 1 1/2 months old?
No way a female would carry on like that for so long.

( I read that if you hold a chick for a few minutes, if it's a female she will be subdued when she can't escape....but a male will kick & scream the whole time ) (( windwalkingwolf...he could be a "girly man" LOL ))

I had a guy helping me renovate my coop for the last 2 weeks, just so I can fit MORE Showgirls & Strippers

Well, I don't know about silkies, but with my Giants, the opposite is true! I can usually tell boys from girls at around 5-8 weeks old by comb and wattles, but if I have a late bloomer or unsure or impatient, I pick him/her up. The boys struggle but then settle, and the girls carry on and shreik forever. Even as well-handled adults, the girls will let me pet and squeeze, but if I lift one she yells and struggles like the Mother of all Hawks has descended upon her, while a rooster will struggle and kick and complain, but then settle. Maybe it's breed dependant?
