It is very hard to keep hands-off when they are so adorable though... :lau This is Peep-Peep being a sleepy snugglebug and enjoying a good headscratching.

So, just saw something that baffled me. Hen-Hen is Rooroo's girl, yet... When Peep-Peep dared to do a wing dance to the hen, Rooroo didn't even bat an eyelid even though he could see what was going on. Peep-Peep still got beaten up, but that was from the unamused hen after she snapped out of...

Just was watching Peep-Peep and Rooroo interact as I boiled the kettle, and Rooroo started doing little "dukdukduk" sounds and then crawled under Peep-Peep, much to Peep-Peep's confusion... And he just sorta laid there ontop of the rooster acting as a blanket and occasionally pecking at the...

When Peep-Peep has his moments, I lightly poke or pat him on the back or nudge him, and he does a "but muuuum" like whine and crawls away. If he is in your way, don't walk around him, he has to move out of your way and if he refuses, pat his tail or poke him on the head or neck and he should...

He hatched 29th of March, being the first to hatch of his siblings, so he is around 4-5 months old. The pic of the chick with the quail chick on it's back is Peep-Peep. :) He was always the most docile of the 5 silkie chicks.

Also he is doing his job as a flock defender with his dad, when we had a wandering sparrowhawk circling the house, both him and Rooroo sounded an 'sky predator' alarm and herded the hens and chicks to safety. Rooroo however walked out away from the hen and stood guard in the open himself...

He only does it when I am sitting down, he won't try and hop on me if I am crouching or standing, as I stopped him from doing that as a chick. Also I keep complete control over them, both him and the hens, when they snuggle into my hair, keeping a hand on their neck to direct them to the side of...

I have noticed he has started doing something rather unusual yet also kinda cute. When I lightly tap him on the back to him to get him to move during his more stubborn moments, he crouches down and shuffles away making little whines. I BELIEVE this is a submissive gesture, and he hasn't tried...

Peep-Peep and his mother Henhen got into a fight as she started antagonizing him and his siblings by chasing them when they were just foraging about, no-where near her chicks. I tried to break it up but Rooroo did it for me before I even got there. He actually put Peep Peep over Henhen, his...

I don't think I need a stick, but I will carry one around to poke him if he gets too, well, cocky. :p Silkies are not as prone to aggression as other breeds, being very docile, but he is still a cockerel who's hormones have just awoken which is why I asked for advice. I understand that running...

He only ran at me once today, and usually he likes to rest on my lap or follow me around whining for treats. I did give him a poke (he learned as a chick that means he did wrong, as I'd give them a light tap on the head or neck if they misbehaved) after he mounted my foot and he hasn't done it...

I have a young silkie who has come of age, he has started crowing... If you can call yelling "WOOOO!" crowing, and this morning he tried to mate with my foot... :lau It was 8 am when he started "woo"ing and I was concerned about the neighbors even though it wasn't very loud, so I went out to...
