SILKIE ROOSTER QUESTION??????????

[c.wilson]

hello everyone. is it natural for silkie roosters not to have spurs. mine doesnt so i was wondering if it was natural for silkies not to have spurs or if it is just mine?


thanks!!

Yes. None of mine have spurs, and if they do they are very TINY nubs or bumps.

How old is the rooster? Is it possible they are just not in yet? My silkie rooster started growing his at 1 yr.

 

[c.wilson]

he is about 3 or 3 1/2 years of age

 

[lurky]

WOW, that amazing. I thought maybe he was young and just getting them late.

 

[c.wilson]

yeah i know but every one else is saying that silkies dont get spurs so i guess they dont.
