In the Brooder
I got what I thought was a silkie rooster from a lady. It doesn’t crow, and if it is a rooster then it’s definitely the beta rooster Bc I have a larger white RIR rooster who leads the flock. They don’t fight each other, when I initially put it in the flock, my RIR wing danced near it like it was a hen and then proceeded to mate or try to mate it about 17 times. The silkie fought and squawked like the first few times but then kinda just took it the rest. Could that be the RIR’s way of saying it’s the alpha? Also haven’t seen the RIR try to mate it since the first day anymore. My two LARGE black Orpingtons will bully it away so it stays away from them, and my brown ISA will peck at it too however the RIR rooster and the leghorn hen seem to coexist with it fine now. Also when the RIR try’s to mate the leghorn the silkie will start pecking the RIR and interrupt the mating and the RIR just walks off. Anyone Able to identify the sex of this silkie and explain the weird behavior?
I’m leaning towards super beta silkie rooster.
