Help sex my 11 week old silkies

[FishMtFarm]

My silkie roosters are loud. My barn is 200 feet from my house and it sounds like they are right outside the window. I can even hear my seramas crow. The point of a crow is to be heard from far away as it’s a territory display. Your neighbors will hear them.

Handsome little cockerels

I was told they’re not loud but then I googled “silkie rooster crowing” needless to say, I don’t think my neighbors will be impressed but I am going to try and keep one and give a crow collar a try! And when I swap one of my roos for my friends pullet, I’ll pray for lots of Wee little baby girls!!

Likely not! My Silkies crow more often than almost any other breed I've kept, other than Phoenix.

You must use reverse psychology here, if you want to be guaranteed of girls. Hope for cockerels, and - boom! You've got nothing but pullets on your hands.

Not only are silkie's crow just as loud as any other rooster, mine have no concept of time. I keep my coop dark, no outside lights either and they still crow at all hours of the night.

What my little silkie lacks in volume is made up for in frequency. From 7 to 9 he non stop crows. Not even scratch slows him down.

Haha yes! I think you might be into something there! We want them as pets and yet My friend who got 3 from the same lady got all girls and she doesn’t care what they are she just wanted them for soup!

Well there goes that thought of keeping the coop dark then

They are definitely all boys, but my silkie boys are actually not that loud. In fact they are quite pathetic sounding, not sure anyone could get cross with them!

You give me a little bit of hope! I hope that we can keep our most favourite and cuddly one!
