I took in a Silkie from a neighbor i got it June 21st but it doesn’t look as if it’s growing any and I was wondering how to tell a silkies gender it has made a sound a couple times as if I thought it could be a rooster but then I’m not sure any ideas and will it get any bigger ? Seems as if my chicken flock doesn’t like it as well it’s very sweet but my hens pick on him/her so I have to keep them away I raised it with two baby Wyandotte’s but the Wyandotte’s are already bigger then the Silkie they are 7 weeks old and they prefer to stick together then be around the Silkie as well 😖

IT NEEDS A BUDDY
We have been having a real hard time to find it a good buddy he has been hanging around our other chickens and always the baby chickens because he is very small the lady we got him from said he was a miniature Silkie that’s probably why she didn’t want him so even our 8 week old Wyandotte’s are bigger then him and he is Smaller 🤦‍♀️ He’s to sweet tho he is 2 weeks older then them ! As well it’s sad because I seen him try to mount one of them and he is just too little 😳
