Did he hatch from a blue or green egg? How old is he? He looks more like a silver laced mix of some kind...Wyandotte mix maybe? What are the possibilities for his parentage? He has no discernable EE traits that I can see...

Can you keep him until swap time? You will probably be able to find him a home there...

Definately not inappropriate to post this here.

People post their available birds for other local Oregon BYCers to see all the time. Guilty of that myself.

Welcome! Good luck finding your boy a home. Poor roosters....seems like there are always too m any roosters and not enough homes.

OK, so he has a 50% chance of carrying the blue egg gene to his offspring, but I think he does not carry it, since he has a single comb. The blue egg gene is linked to the pea comb, though that's not 100% reliable either...

To help keep him quiet, if you have a garage, or some other place that's dark that you can keep him in at night / early morning, then bring him out later in the morning...lots of city folks keep roosters that way...

The swap is May 5th in Canby...

Hey, anyone know of a place you can just buy a small egg turner (for brinsea mini advanced) or do you just always have to order them? Also, point me in direction of someone who sells hatching eggs for silkies? Tired of surfing the net tonight.
Thanks all
Getting used to this new board (not sure my computer is happy about it, lol, slow bugger tonight).

I don't know about the Brinsea turner, other than buying it directly from the manufacturers website...for Silkie eggs, Marge Best in Oregon City, Jennifer Vidmar (ultasol on here) or Karen Larson (kelar on here I believe)...

Hi I'm in Grants Pass. We have four hens. Three are Golden Sexlinks, and one is a black Sexlink. We love them!
