New to silkies

[tbritt]

We were have some silkies. 4 out of 6 I know for sure are Roos but we have two that are almost the same size just a bit smaller than the others. Can anyone help me tell if they are Roos or Hens? They don’t crow like the other 4.

Welcome!

Top one is a cockerel for sure. How old are they?

Crowing is individual.

Sorry, they were gave to us a friend rescue them and couldn’t keep them up.

Age please?

We never got the age. But I do know that the other Roos are waiting to get spurs. If that helps with anything.

Top rooster bottom hen... my silkies all crowed , it’s more in the way they puff up and look proud . I don’t think 4 silkie roosters will do good together, mine didn’t and I had 2.

Thank you! They definitely try each other. We’ve been trying to find someone to rehome them to thin out all the Roos we have.

The top one is def. a boy. The bottom one most likely is also.

I made a Craigslist post, two were gave away. Just to thin four all the Roos we have. Thanks for everything.
