Are you able to keep roosters?They're about 5 months old... I think. I'm pretty sure the white ones are both hens and it was the grey/ blue one I heard crowing. He's also very dominant and gets cross! So I guess back to the breeder he must go
I can keep him as far as noise goes... His crowing isn't super loud or super early at present. I'm not sure the neighbours would mind that much anyway... But I can't have chicks because I don't have the resources or time for it.
Ah I seeeeee. I'm guessing it would be best not to eat the eggs, either? We were planning on only having hens and I haven't researched beyond that... We are newbies to the chicken world!
Thanks for the tag.
Ah this is very interesting! I didn't realize that this was a new colour, I should do my research haha - it's really cool that pure silkies can have red combs!Thanks for the tag.
The grey one actaully looks Cuckoo, I see some barring in the neck feathers. Cuckoo in silkies is a newer color and is still considered a project color. They often have the more red combs and wattles instead of the SOP mulberry. Paints have this often as well.
It does look pure to me, though technically it is not "pure" as other breeds were used to introduce the color. This one does though look to be a cockerel.
I would keep them a bit longer if you can, unless the breeder has a time limit for returns.
You can safely eat the eggs, even if they are fertile. Most people that have roosters do.
If this beautiful bird is your favorite, then wait it out a bit if you can.
As long as the neighbours don't mind too much
