is my silkie a rooster?

[chickenwatcher4]

I'm not allowed to have them where I leave so I'd like to find out as soon as possible. Thanks for your opinions!

I think it is but you probably need an expert to be sure..

 

[chickenwatcher4]

any experts out there?

Lol one thing I do know is that the curls on the neck feathers means its probably a boy... So I'm leaning toward roo sorry

Hmmm...how old is your cutie? I'm leaning towards roo myself. Any rooish behavior?

It is too early to tell. Maybe in another month.

It's 10-11 weeks. I have 4 chicks all around the same age, but all different breeds. I brought them all home together and after about a month the silkie stopped coming over to get treats with the others, runs off when it sees me coming when all the others run to greet me, and is the only one I see fighting with the others.

That really makes me think its a roo our Oliver did that chasing the others around and bullying them... Sorry

Yea I have a 10 week suspected roo fingers crossed he isn't gonna be a loud mouth

! And before I could see any signs of roo I saw too behavior (think I might have 2 actually

..but plan on keeping one) it is early & they are tricky def give lil more time.

Thanks everyone! This one's name is Mulan because I knew from the start there was something suspicious about it. I guess I can wait another month, but it really seems to be pestering the others. However, I do see them sleeping together just fine. This is my first flock so do I isolate the silkie?
