I think I see some streamers. He's also getting a wattle.

I personally don't free range. It's safer for them that way. I also have a dog with a history of killing chickens. I don't trust her around my birds anymore. My chickens live in a covered run (and coop of course) all the time. I have a family member that has a large coop and run and I often give...

I kept 1 and gave the others away. Half my silkies this year are that rooster's kids. He unfortunately got taken by a hawk about a moth ago.

Thank you! I have at least 5 cockerels and I think 5/6 of my younger chicks are gonna be cockerels as well. I only have 3 silkie pullets. Still better than last year. Last year I had ALL cockerels

So I guess I'll hold off on selling him for now. I will update in about 2 weeks.

This is Night. He's the sweetest chicken I've ever had. All it takes is for me to sit down for 5 minutes and he jumps on my shoulder. I've always thought he's a rooster because of his behavior and scrawny looking feathers, especially the tail. His sister (same age) has a way rounder crest...
