I have had a 7 week old aracauna cockerel raise 4 week old silkies. Maybe they just have their hormones mixed up a little!

That looks like a roo to me

How cute!

He's telling you he wants to be a stay-home daddy.

Maybe he really wanted kids!! No, I have not had rooster set, but I dont let my hens do it either. I do have one that makes nests and tell his hens where to lay at. Silver pheasant cocks will set on eggs and so will pigeons. Maybe its the banty in him.

maybe he just wants to contribute to the child rearing process

I had one of my Roo's do that today. Weird, a true family man. Heck as hot as it is here, who needs to sit on the eggs.

Wow! He's really beautiful! I take it there's a chance these eggs are fertile...

If you let him continue, and if he in fact does continue, please keep us posted!!!! That's just wild
