    Will my rooster ever man up?

    Just a quick question. I have one silkie rooster (Juniper) who's very big and docile and is 7 months old. He doesn't fight and he's only a high rank among the pullets. He's ugly but not like my other roosters I've had who are aggressive so I want to keep him. He's the only rooster in the flock...

    One sick, underdeveloped chick.

    Update! I am giving them all doxycycline, and they're all in good condition. There might be problems down the road, but for now they are healthy. I will post again if anything goes wrong. Thank you for the help! As I said in my previous post, the chick didn't make it, but that's ok.

    Silkie thread!

    That's so true. Every single silkie I have ever gotten from Tractor Supply ended up hating me. 5 days ago my mom decided to get them again, but this time I'm trying to socialize with them more than I did. The sexlink chicks are very sociable, love to be picked up and enjoy sleeping in your lap...
