How did your flock annoy you today?

I have one silkie that I got accidentally. I'm not necessarily opposed to them, but I thought it might be a black cochin. They had the bantams squished in a bin with New Hampshires, and it was so hard to see them at all, much less their feet. As soon as I took him out at home though, I knew I had chosen wrong, lol. I saw that 5th toe. And on one foot, his 5th toe is fused to the one next to it, but it does not seem to bother him. This is Pippin, looking mighty ragged at 4 weeks old now. I'm not sure if he's black or blue, but he's fluffy!

I have 1 silkie as well. Yeti is a tiny white silkie who if she is a pound I would be shocked. She is on a nest brooding her heart out on 6 eggs and somehow has a splash of poop all over her back. Also she is as brainless as a blade of grass. Not a braincell anywhere in her Tiny little brain. Poor thing. At least my cochins are smarter.

I mean, I guess it depends on how close they are? But really, you could play it off like someone's screen door is squeaking. Lol.

Sounds like an immature cockerel. I have been searching a bit. It says the noise is higher pitched on a general site.

This is what someone who has many bantams and experience wrote on a Dutch chickenforum about dUccles:
We currently have two roosters, up until last week we had three, and one crows more frequently and loudly than the other, but none as loudly as our Sussex bantam rooster we had until last year. I certainly wouldn't describe their crowing as very loud or shrill, but rather average.
