the pics are great...seems pics from heaven....I've had my Catdance cock with a trio of pullets for two months. I've got two broody hens setting on some and I put eighteen in the incubator. I have two more White boys waiting in the wings to mature a bit before giving them a go. This one cockerel is Sheryl Butler breeding. I hatched him out on Dec. 31, 2012. He is only six and a half months old! Hes been crowing since four months old and trying to breed since five. He is rough and inexperienced with the girls but his type is so spectacular I'm switching out with the Catdance boy. He needs a rest anyway. Took him out of the pen as is. Dirty and and broken foot feathering. Still....I am so happy with the way he is coming along. Meet Mr. Big Foot. Named by my then two year old Grandson.
His cushion has been trimmed. I'm really looking forward to chicks by this guy.

Thank you cuteubbi. Truly. I take dozens of pictures of my birds as fast as I can at one go then I use Picasa to crop and export my favorites. I was blessed with a very cooperative Silkie for this setting. He was so happy to be out of his pen and hens were behind me in the yard. He was showing off. Hah!
So I take it fluffy will not be getting watermelon again any time soon....Ok so as I was saying how do you get this.
From this.
Poor ole Fluffy. It will take multiple baths to get the stain out! LOL!
The larger the rooster, the louder and the lower the pitch; the smaller the less loud, but higher the pitch. So, louder, bass-toned crows tend to be FAR less annoying than high-pitched shrieking crows at less volume. Medium sized birds such as silkies tend to have a medium pitch and volume. That said, I have one silkie who is spending much of the hot weather inside has such a loud and annoying crow that he cannot be inside at night; I will normally sleep right through a bird crowing near me; not this guy. If you have a noise-insulated laundry room or bathroom or garage, you might be able to put males in there at night and have few issues with nighttime/early morning crowing. Also, keep it dark where he is, and an extra short cage where he cannot stretch up high to crow may help.
Get more pullets?
I did that with red and orange gatorade once upon a time. It stains!
