    I want to see him too! Sadly, I can’t have roosters where I am and have had to rehome him. 😔

    My Ameracauna Stripe (my 7 yr old named her). She is super friendly - can’t wait to hop up in my lap! She is almost 4 months old.

    This is my Polish x Orpington Rooster - he is almost 4 months old. I love the rust cored feathers popping through the black crest. He is starting to crow and it sounds like a squeaker toy that is broken. He loves being talked to and will talk back.

    Where to sleep??

    Silkie - ?? Rooster

    From what I have read it is very hard to determine Silkie sex until several months old. I have 2 silkies - one is aprox 6 weeks, the other aprox 7. The 7 week old one has a much more pronounced comb and waddles. Is that something you would see this early as an indication it is a Rooster in a...

    Odd looking comb

    I have 2 of the, hopefully, pullets. They are pretty cool - great personalities so far!

    Odd looking comb

    Updated pics. The one in question - which, I agree, seems like a cockerel - and one of the others from the same batch. It’s a shame I can’t keep a Roo - he is gorgeous!!
