I have a beautiful bearded Silkie who I'm guessing is around 4 months old.
I haven't seen any major rooster like behaviour and no crowing.
However while drying in front of the fire today I noticed they are developing a rather upright stance and straighter tail. They are also bigger than the grey silkie who is the same age.
Wondering what people's thoughts are on whether I could have a sneaky rooster hidden amongst the hens? I believe Silkies can take a while longer than other breeds to declare themselves.
