My silkie was also a late bloomer no crest or a peep! I gave 3 silkie roos away and kept him since I thought it was a female well he quickly grow his crest and wattles and started crowing at 8 months ohh and also started chasing the ladies!
Anybody from Deep South? Im in Mission Tx and have 3 silkie cockerels to rehome along with 3 saphire gem pullets. They are 11 weeks old now. I don’t have social media so its been hard trying to rehome them :( never again will I buy so many chicks from the TS bin !
We have freezes every other year or so but its for a couple of hrs and hot the next day. Right now looks like a I’ll be losing my tropical fruit trees :( The freezing temps have been for more than 12 hrs now
I did last year after my dad called me saying that one of my chickens was strolling down the street. He said I knew it had to be yours because she stayed still as I approached her to pick her up. He has chickens too but they are not used to being handled.
Idk how she made it that far there...
