Here's one I found...but have to run and don't have time to get on again until much later!
One young cockerel with six adult hens is going to work because the hens will put him on the bottom of the pecking order until he is closer to sexual maturity. When the hormones kick in, he will start bullying the young pullets first.Mumsy - another question on the cockerels.
I have just the ONE little guy who's 16 weeks. 6 adult hens (1 yr) 3 16 wk old pullets. I imagine with just ONE cockerel it wouldn't work to try to separate him since he wouldn't have company?
(I guess I could house him with the hen that takes him down every time he tries to get fresh! )
Welcome You will love your new chickies!Can I jump in? I'm new-ish around here. I live in Alaska and am planning on raising my little brood of chickies as natural as I can
They look so good!!!Catdance Lavender Silkies in the lavender pansies today.
Little one. I believe this is a pullet.
Bigger one. Possibly a cockerel.
Their beards and muffs were pulled out by the HRIR chicks when they were brooded together. FF was stuck all over them and it was irresistible while they were piled together.
Thank you Pullet Surprise. My youngest daughter came to visit the other day and remarked on them. She said, "I never knew Silkies came in such lovely colors. Pastel Silkies are pretty."They look so good!!!
