Well, that is an issue... likely, he will be at the very bottom of the pecking order, and if that happens, he will get bullied and probably not get everything he needs (food, water, and such...). If you are serious about keeping him, he will most likely need to be kept separate, but I would keep some girls with him. For now, just keep an eye on the chick, and always have a backup plan. Hopefully it will be a girl. Did you buy the chick as straight-run?
Yes. The chick is strait run. It has a big comb so I think it's a rooster. Can it live with my silky hens?
Also, all of the roosters are silkies.
The silkies will probably not bully it so that would be the best option if there aren't any roos with them
It looks like a pullet to me
It can live with any hens you want it to, but I would not keep (if it is a) him with other roosters. If you really want to give it it’s best life, it can’t constantly be getting bullied and kicked around by the others, it would be best to separate him, and let him be the leader and have his own girls, just like any other rooster.
Good! I hope it is! It is a d'uccleIt looks like a pullet to me
D'uccles are the best! I have 3, two boys and one girl and they're all sweet!
You can ask @AngBantamLuv about d'uccle sexing, she's amazing at it!
And since this baby has cross beak it will probably be extra friendly! What color of d'uccles do you have?
