Nope, he's my third, actually! :) My first two inside chickens were silkie girls. My D'uccle boy is so mellow, he even lets the silkies boss him around, hahaha.
I acquired my D'uccle boy by accident; he was young when we bought him, and looked just like a hen! We were very surprised when he started crowing two days later, and posted an ad to sell him (we didn't want any roosters with our girls). As the days went by, we fell more and more in love with...
Thanks for the help, guys! I was really wondering, since she's been acting protective of the other silkie, and her crest turns up a bit at her comb.
I'm glad I have two pullets after all. :D
This is Hotshot, one of my silkies. S/he's about five months old. I have suspicions that s/he's a male, but would like to hear what some of you more experienced flock-keepers have to say. Any ideas?
