I have question about male silkies...

[Bluemoon420]

Please forgive me if this has been asked before. Do male silkies get spurs? It's a silly question, and it's early. I haven't drank all my coffee yet. The thought just popped in my head, and I had to ask.

Thanks Sissy

We have two in our flock. One male, one female. Our male is hilarious. He dances this sideways moonwalk, and it cracks me up everytime he does it. He has NO problem telling the big roosters were to go either. He is friendly to people, and is VERY chatty. Our female is fascinated by feet. She will stand at your feet, just admiring them. Occasionally, she will sit on them. You have to be careful where you walk when she's around. She is also very chatty, and she reminds me of beeker from the muppets.

I just had one of those random thoughts, and wondered if Mr. Fluffy would get spurs like our big guys at some point.

Thank you Sonoran !

I wasn't too sure about silkies when my daughter first got them, but they are growing on us.

She got these cool partridge colored, and they are doing quite well with the rest of our flock.
