I have a 7 month old black Silkie named blue. I’m pretty sure Blue is a roo I need to find a way to make sure he doesn’t mate with any of my hens or doesn’t crow. I need to find I way to make this work in order to keep him. I was wondering if anyone had any ideas as I am new to owning a small...
I don’t know what gender my black silkie is. I’ve been looking up the characteristics of rooster silkies but she’s just so calm. She’s 7 months old now I really don’t want to get rid of her because my HOA doesn’t allow roosters.
