We introduced the Polish Crested Rooster to the white Silkie flock,
a few weeks after he lost his mate in late summer 2010 when he was 3 years old.

Polish Crested Rooster 31st May 2011 - 4 years old - Daddy to 7 chicks
We had already lost our main white Silkie rooster, very sad when he got sick and died.
We didn't know how well it would turn out.......

The Big Chief Rooster with his (and our) favourite girl. She's so cute!
We thought he was just walking out with her and dancing for her!
He has not had any chicks before, so we just assumed he was shootin' blanks.....
