I will take some better pictures of the silkie tomorrow when I have the time so you can be sure. I wouldn't mind having a flock of only roosters, I've heard they are fine together if there are no hens. At least I wouldn't have to worry about a hen being overbred.
I'm pretty certain it's a boy.I will take some better pictures of the silkie tomorrow when I have the time so you can be sure. I wouldn't mind having a flock of only roosters, I've heard they are fine together if there are no hens. At least I wouldn't have to worry about a hen being overbred.
Thank you for the help!
I know nothing about sexing Silkies but the first one is a male. If all are boys then that might be the best case scenario for you.
I had two cockerels that would feed each other. I think they'll be fine. You may need a few more hens however. See how you go once the mating starts.Oooee I was hoping he'd be a henbut it's fine, I think we will get another hen to even it out a little more. At least the two roosters seem to like each other, hopefully it doesn't change.
I hope they're all boys. I have some better pictures of the silkie now. We already kind of have a plan for if the silkie is a hen, but would prefer that to not be the case at the moment.
That's good!
Yes, his wide and pronounced comb and the male feathering.That's good!
What gives it away? Is it the comb? Or maybe the shape of the feathers or something? For me, all silkies look the same, but this is also the first silkie I've had.
He's 100% a male.I hope they're all boys. I have some better pictures of the silkie now. We already kind of have a plan for if the silkie is a hen, but would prefer that to not be the case at the moment.
Anyways sorry I was busy yesterday and forgot to take pictures.View attachment 3875411View attachment 3875410View attachment 3875413
