    I am very new to Silkies - what is it that makes him pet quality? The redness of his comb/wattles or are there other things that you see. I appreciate you taking the time to post. He was purchased as a pet so no worries. What is his colouring? Thanks, Shelley

    Silkie newbie

    Hi, I'm Shelley and I got my first Silkie a few months ago. A year old rooster I call 'Bird'. I tried, "Bud" and "Boo", but he ignores me, "Bird" and he looks interested. I got him in mid-March and still had 3 feet of snow in the yard, so he is a kitchen chicken. He sleeps in a dog crate...

    rooster collars??

    I have a year old Silkie. I've only had him for a few months, but he's a pretty easy going guy. Nah, he's extremely laid back. Because I got him when we still had 3 ft of snow in the yard he's currently a 'kitchen chicken' and I didn't have to worry about his crowing as he wasn't outside much...
