Silkie cockerel or pullet? 3 months old

[Chicalina]

He is stunning! Is this your Wyandotte/silkie cross?

Yes, one of those I hatched last year. He went to live on a nearby farm and got eaten by a fox when they left the electric fence off . His slightly less handsome brother then went to take his place, on assurance they would not forget to switch the fence on.

I'm loving these partridge silkie pictures!

Here is my previous partridge, Nala. She did have a few hard feathers. Bella, my blue, really had me thinking male.. charging me, stood upright, male looking crest.. but her eggs were great!

Seems like a small comb - I had a chick only a few weeks old that looks to have a similar size single comb.. but some develop slower then others I guess..
What will you do with your 2 boys sitting on your lap? Can you keep them or rehome them?

Yes, it is a very small comb.
If Roberta is a boy she would be my 6th boy. I will keep all my boys, there is enough space, I will have a bachelor pad

They are actually for the other fluff nuggets.. but when the chickens are out, they own everything

Hi ForTheLoveOfSilkies, is there any news from sweet little Easter? New observations regarding his/her behaviour and the adults' behaviour towards the little one?
