Ginger doesn't act like a rooster!

Count yourself lucky. Many would love to have a non crowing rooster/cockerel.

I am quite glad! He's a very funny boy.

I have a 4mo silkie rooster who is DEFINITELY male. The rooster who's a month younger has already started crowing and becoming interested in the girls.
My other silkie roosters (they are gone now) crowed at 15-20 weeks.
Ginger has NO INTEREST in anything "rooster".
He doesn't crow or have any interest in the girls. He doesn't stand or act like a roo at all.
My younger boy is leaving in a week so I'll see if Ginger crows after that.
Ging has a few "issues" (they don't really stand in the way of his life at all). He's partly blind and he walks with his legs further apart.
I've attached some pics:

If my parents named me Ginger, I probably wouldn't much feel like crowing or chasing girls either. Sorry...couldn't resist. We've had to change the names of several misgendered birds too.

He's starting to be more rooster-y now. Hopefully he won't crow though! He's started mating a lot more and he's roosting! (Roosting is a big deal in my flock because nobody roosts!) I didn't expect him to because he can only just balance when her runs
Look at that handsome comb he's growing!

He's decided to molt NOW

Best description I've heard yet of the sound a rooster makes when first trying to crow.

PippinTheChicken, how's your Ginger doing?
