I do believe you have a roo. He's gorgeous!

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?

Yea my bet is your suspicion could be right. Well I'm no expert on this matter but I will tell ya this if ya remove the silkie the pecking order might change a bit & ya might see more squabbling etc for few days . I sold 2 of my silkie crosses and started seeing the others kinda redetermine rank I suppose .

if your more likely to keep the silkie I would say leave 'him' w/ others. 'He' might be very unhappy alone tho...idk that I could bare watching one peep & pace if I put it alone . Which is why I haven't moved my runt . We suspected it was either late feathering or getting picked on lil well when I removed the 2 I mentioned before now it's def getting whipped by my bigger suspected roo..however it starts a good bit of its problems sooo I'm jus giving em time since there is no blood shed etc.

Can anyone tell me if these two blue silkies are pullets or roos? They are both almost 14 weeks old. I tried to get the best pics I could but man these chicks are hard to keep still! Thank you in advance

The last three pics are of chick #2, or Velvet (who has a single comb). These two always have very messy crests,I do try to keep them clean but it's a losing battle lol.
