My white silkie is definitely a rooster (he’s crowing) so he’s going to live with my sister on her 20 acres (we can’t have roosters where we live). I’m wondering if the grey one is also a rooster and should go with him? And what about the brown one? I think she’s a hen but I’m no expert.
The grey one has always been a runt, smaller than the others but he looks to me to have more features like my white one than the brown.
If there’s no way to tell til he crows or lays, is it better to send him with the rooster and take him back if he is a she? Or keep him with the hens and send him to live with the white one if he starts crowing? Is it more likely that the rooster would fight him if he came to live with him later? Or more likely that the hens would not let him come back?
