6 week old silkies

[Obsessed With Silkies]

They’re both males

Aww, probably not what you hoped. Are you going to keep them both?

i dont think so :/
i dont live on a farm, i have a big fenced in yard and the coop is on the side where i have no neighbor, but i dont wanna take any chances that i get unlucky and end up with roosters that just crow at all hours of the night lol

also, wouldn't they fight with each other? I wanted silkies for their temperament (cuteness) and occasional eggs, so having two roosters would give me no eggs but thankfully the lady i got the darker one from takes in all unwanted roos and has a bunch from his batch leftover at about 5-6 weeks old, so maybe she can sex them a bit better now and give me two or three that dont have roo characteristics yet

How do you know they're both cockerels? The white definitely is, but I'm not too sure how you've reached that decision with the black one

I had two roosters that grew up together and I keep them in the same pen with my hens. One is more dominant than the other and the other one knows that but they don't fight. I know someone though who had two roosters within the same time of getting them and they didn't get along but I guess it will come down to their personalities.

I had a couple of white silkie males and they were best buddies.

I had them DNA tested! Just got the results back today
