Do Silkies just not crow...or is mine just broken?

[FLchook]

After weeks of silence, I was looking forward to hearing my new boy crow. Thus far he has crowed once, and I only heard that on the phone when mom called to tell me....Ah..Dana got your a rooster, not a hen.

So is it common for a silkie boy to not crow, or is mine just shy?

he may crow. I had one who I thought would never ever crow. I got rid of his buddies and now he crows for a few hours

How old is yours? Mine is almost a year old and crows a lot during the morning. He has a sweet low pitched crow, I can tell it's him (among the 15+ other roosters I have) just by the sound.

Yours may not crow because there are no other roosters around.

My silky boys all crow. But I have other roosters, maybe they learned off of them!!

I have a lone rooster, and he's a silky and about 17 wks or so and he crows the sweetest crow!

I have no other roosters. As for age, well all I can tell is that he is full grown.

A friend bought it for me while I was on vacation. Think he thought it was a hen, not a rooster. Credit to him, silkies are hard to tell. hehe. Maybe he is crowing and Im just not hearing it.

My other 2 boys were loud mouths, and like to let themselves be heard at all times of the day. Id hear them at 5:30 when im heading out tot he gym, and they would still be at it when I got back.

Ill just have to listen harder hehe
