Am I going to have to rehome Snowball the silkie?

[Teresaann24]

Snowball will be going on 7 months in june. I always thought snowball was a she but I think snowball is getting streamers...

If snowball is a boy I have to rehome him. Plz give me good news

even though I am fearing the worse.

At 7 months she should have crowed by now I think????

 

[Teresaann24]

No crowing..The buff roo I have is 1 month younger then snowball is crowing but snowball is not.

Sorry, Snowball looks like a roo to me.

If there's a more dominant rooster around, a lot of youngsters won't crow, mine didn't. It would've made things a lot easier on me if they would!

Maybe if you could put the Buff one in another pen away from Snowball-Snowball could let you know by crowing, if it's a he-Just a thought

Very cute chickens btw!

The streamers say it all, he's a cockerel.

I don't know much about silkies. What are streamers?

 

[Teresaann24]
