It would be typical of a man to take credit for a woman's hard work....

I'm far from the silkie expert but form what I've seen with mine. I'll say roo and he was just taking credit for the egg. Maybe doing the rooster thing and guarding it?

My silkie roo (my avatar) was 5 months in that picture. You guy has a much bigger comb and wattles then him. My girls have next to nothing for combs and wattles now at 9 months.

Oh and another question, if he was a boy, would he be trying to mount my silkie who is definitely laying? Because I have not seen that at all

That's what I'm worried about! The combs and wattles really are so large, and only grew his large in the last month.

That will come when the hormones kick it up. Do you have another rooster? That could also be why he's not crowing yet or trying to mount the girls.

No other roosters, this is the only one I'm worried could be.
