A few years ago I had a little silkie roo start crowing, (squeacking) at 9 days of age. We were just sitting here watching TV. Sounded like he was getting killed!

After a couple of weeks he had it down pretty good.

Thanks Tony O. I heard a strangled gargle from the barn this morning. I have one confirmed cockerel! He was on top of the waterer when he crowed, and the last gargle nearly shook him off his perch. He's the largest in the group, and I was pretty sure he was a male. Now the rest need to declare their gender so I can plan where they will be in the spring.

Merry Christmas, Everyone! We're headed to OKC in about an hour. For those traveling over the holidays, be safe. I'll be back on line in a few days.

Everything I have here at the moment is OE bantams, I have been looking for some real nice Rosecombs for a while, they will arrive next fall but would like to find two hens or pullets to get started with before hatching season hits.
Over the next few years I will be adding a few varieties of Rosecomb.
