Do roosters make happy hen noises?

[simplysophie]

We recently got three baby silkies and two have made happy hen noises so far. Does this mean they are girls? hoping so!

if this is not in the right area please tell me. I wasnt sure where to put it.

I thought I heard an egg song this afternoon, and found out that it was coming from a young rooster! (I also had another one crow for the first time today.) .......stan

Mom, I was hoping there might be another way to tell. I cant stand the thought of getting rid of any of them.

I have a black silkie...over 27 weeks...STILL don't know what it is!

With the exception of laying eggs, roosters can do everything a hen does. Vocalizations or behavior are not an indicator of gender.
