silkie roosters

Three adult silkie roosters - One gorgeous gold partridge, one black with gold leakage, one black with a little white leakage. Just tightening up my breeding program and don't need them in it. I am unsure how old they are, I bought them as adults, but I would say the oldest would be about 2...

I'm trying to figure out why my sweet 3 old Dutch Boy blue painted splash Silkie Roo Dutch Boy doesn't have the iconic Poffy head fluff. Does anyone know why he looks like me in Florida when the humidity hits, instead of the fluffy head silkie he should be. He's beautiful anyways. But I've...

I have 2 Silkie roos about 6 months old. I have 7 hens that are laying - 2 buff Orpingtons, 2 Plymouth barred rocks, 2 Australorps, 1 special needs brown leghorn - and they use a communal nest, for the most part. The 2 roos will intermittently sit on the nest and eggs and guard/defend it/them...

Ok so I have a small serama hen that just started laying. I have one silkie rooster that is very nice to her. I was hoping to they could match up! Is it possible? Or will the silkie rooster be too big for her? He tried once but she sounded panicked. Anyone have any experience they could share...

Hello! I have one silkie rooster and two silkie hens. My rooster is a TALKER. All hours of the day he is crowing, and we are worried because we live in a neighborhood. I give them seeds throughout the day, and they have a coop that’s inside a dog run, and I let them run free both days of the...

My silkie rooster keeps pecking at the female so much that she hides under the stairs . When I hear the commotion I run to her and she gets in my arms and hides and doesn’t want to go back for a while. They were both raised together so I don’t understand . They were born in September so could...

Out of 8 silkie eggs I hatched (Hatched May 17) at least 5 are roosters :)hmm). It is terribly hard to have to get rid of these guys because I hatched them, but I'm not technically allowed to have chickens at all. I have 3 blue silkie roos, and one really cool black silkie with a few white...

2 weeks ago our roosters had gotten something and we've been treating them for it so they're currently in quarantine. They were crowing every time the light was turned on and it was beautiful crowing. I'm the only one who likes the crowing so I'm really worried that something may be wrong. They...

What is everyone's opinion on this rooster? He is a May 2017 chick and I am told he is Black.... I realize he isn't show quality, but for a first time Silkie breeder (hobby only! No showing) how do you think he would work? Would you buy him? (He does have the correct number of toes)

hello! My in-laws have a couple chicken flocks and as you can imagine with any breeding project, and over abundance of Roos! They were born and raised on there farm and none are over 5 years old(I’m pretty sure they are all younger than that). They just request that they please go to a home...
