silkie sexing

[thomp119]

Are the "hair like" feathers in this chick's back of the neck the start of hackle feathers? This is a silkie chick that I suspect is a roo. Thoughts?

Anybody have luck with finding a "bump" (the yellow spot) on their suspected roo's leg just after the foot as a determiner of being male? My suspected females do not have a bump like this.

Hello everyone!


I recently realized I have a roo which is sad for me because I can't keep him because I have a serama roo, and they live at my school with a few neighbors. I have 4 chickens, 1 serama roo, 1 silkie roo, 2 female silkies. Is there any one around the Oakland Ca area who needs a HANDSOME kind, and docile roo???

Two out of my 3 bantams have turned out to be roos already, my mille fleur and blue cochin. Now I fear that my third might be one too. Any help would be great. My little baby silkie is around 13 weeks old. My cochin started crowing about 2-3 weeks ago and my mille just started pathetically crowing a week ago

Thanks for the help!
