Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
Can't have roosters where you are?

 

[KRP]

Nope. So far no complaints but he is crowing all the time so feel like it is just a matter of time.

Welcome to the flock. Good luck placing your little silkie. It can sure be hard when you can't have a roo, and discover you do have one. There is a forum on here for re homing birds. You can try that. Check out your state thread too, maybe some one close to you can take him, or might know someone.

Welcome to BYC! At least silkies don’t crow that loud. Maybe nobody will care.
