2 month old silkie crowing?

[nenders]

I have a partridge silkie chick and it made a sound that sounded like a crow. Is this possible? Does that mean that it is a rooster?

It is possible. Welcome to BYC!

We're glad to have you. Yes, crowing is possible at this age, though my roosters usually start crowing a little later (6-8 weeks).

Welcome to BYC! It is possible for cockerels to start crowing that early, yes.

Hi there and welcome to BYC

Yes, they can start crowing early. BUT....babies can make all sorts of noises, so I would wait until you see other signs of being a rooster or a hen before making the final decision.

Great to have you aboard and enjoy BYC!

It is very possible for a cockerel to start crowing by that age - welcome to BYC.
