I suspect that this fuzzy little guy is a cockerel. He’s 14 weeks old. He’s surprisingly bold in a run full of bossy old hens. Is this our cockerel? I’m new to Silkies. Would love some opinions from those more experienced.
(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
3 years into my chicken journey. Laying hens seemed like a natural next step from gardening.
(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
13 chickens, 3 turkeys
(4) What are your favorite aspects of raising backyard chickens...
