    Normal silkie rooster growth?

    I've noticed that my silkie Lucifer isn't growing the same as the other roosters. He has a smaller comb and considerably small wattles. I know he's a rooster since he was one of the first to get red colour in his comb and he has a silkie rooster hairdoo. He is 4 months/19 weeks old.

    Are Silkie roos Loud?

    Hello everyone! This spring will be the second time I get silkies and silkies aren't sexed when we get them so there is a chance that I will get little roos.
