So I picked up 4 Silkies yesterday and 2 were cockerels. They're all about 15 weeks old or so and both cockerels are related. They get along extremely well and love snuggling with each other.
We also now have 13 girls(Pullets & Hens) and I'm going to be getting 4 chicks next week so the cockerels will have plenty of hens later on. All chickens will be getting to free range twice a day with supervision.
I was wondering what behavior I should watch out for and what behavior is good.
Also when should both be getting fully grown spurs?
We only had 1 Silkie rooster one time but he was only around long enough to breed the hens before we had to get rid of him due to our old neighbors who hated him for no reason at all.
