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

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

You shouldn't let him do that. Him doing that is showing he has no fear of you. What I do is put a hand to my hip and let him roost there (Also I don't like getting pooped on,).

He was on my arm I was protecting him from the bigger chickens they were chasing him around at the time and would leave him alone so I picked him up and let him Roost on my arm for a bit ! Oh he knows I’m boss being pooped on is gross but I deal with working Dog poop and horse poop all day as well so we will just add it to the list

Need the age on this one.
Yep, he's a cockerel.
Looks normal size Silkie. Silkies aren't exactly the giants of the chicken world.
