Its official: caught the little guy trying to crow today.

So my partridge silkie baby was the one of the seven that hatched that i was desperate to be a pullet. I brought him/her to fair last week, and being around the roos i suppose brought something out in him. When i brought him to the fairgrounds he had a very understated comb, and a sweet attitude. Brought him home on friday, his comb was HUGE (well, compared to how big it was before) and then this morning i went out and heard a strangled awk-awk sound. There he was, roo stance and all, trying to crow. I suppose he needs a girlfriend now, cause i love the partridge color.

How old is he? I've got two (9 weeks) that I know are roos, but they haven't made a single attempt at crowing yet. My nephew likes to come over and play rooster crows off of his phone, but it doesn't get the boys excited or anything.

he is 5 month old, which i suppose is typical for a silkie.

I'm sorry he's a "he" but you're going to keep him? It's cute to me when they're learning to crow

Of course i'll keep him! He is a real sweetheart, he falls asleep on me, perches on my shoulder, snuggles with me... and attacks anyone else who tries to touch him
