7 week old silkie... crowing!!!

[MESOFRUFFEH]

I have asked about the gender of my silkies several times as they have grown, mainly because some of them have really large red combs, and I keep being met with the answer that it is too early to tell lol. This morning, I thought I heard something weird outside, so I went out and low and behold... one of my silkie roos was crowing!! They are only 7 weeks old!! I was not able to get a super good video of it, but still... IT'S SUCH A CUTE LITTLE CROW!!

There are two other little silkies with large combs like this guy, but they have yet to crow. What is the earliest you have had one crow?? I read someone had one crowing at 4.5 weeks, that is so crazy!

Get out! That is too funny.

That roo has some pretty heavy duty testosterone.

I kept hearing it from far away and I was like what the heck sounds like a turkey?! Today he actually did it right as I was getting them out for the day. I guess he is trying to one up my only other rooster that Crows. His little crow is just so adorable!

I will definitely be saying darnit here in a few months when the 10 other roosters we have start crowing!!
