    Silkie thread!

    My 6 week old silkie has big spur spots. My adult hens never had ones this big and another silkie same age doesn't have any. Does that mean it's a rooster?

    Hey I'm in Denver too! There's a few Facebook groups (colorado chickens and colorado backyard chickens) that are great for advice if your on there! I had to rehome a roo last year it's not too difficult to find someone who will take one.
