I would say cockerel. Maybe 5 months old?

Silkie cockerel. I’d hazard a guess that he’s 6-8 months old.

any suggestions on intergrating him with my existing chicks...i have it in a dog cage in the coop with an adjoining cage with a 4 4week old bannies and an 8 week old silkie...and on the other side is 2 buff orp hens and a buff orp roos that are 16 weeks old

his comb looks very dry and crackled, is there something i can put on it???? coconut oil maybe?

Coconut oil for sure.

I’ll find an article on integrating that I can link as I’m not very brushed up on it.
