Possible male??

My babies turned 4 months old yesterday. They're as big as the rest of the flock now, just need to fill out some more.
On another note, I witnessed my silkie roo catch and successfully mate one of my teeny tiny OEGB hens (I have no other bantam roosters). Hmm, I wonder...

I'll be on the lookout for any eggs she lays.

Thanks! I was wondering. Then I could get my males and females switched out with only vaulted skulked chicks.

Two vaulted parents will still produce non-vaults.

Really?? I thought two vaults would make only vaults. I guess if one parent was non vaulted before the two vaulted ones produced offspring I guess it would be possible.

And it may be possible that two non-vaulted can make a vaulted too. I got one - but I don't know if my birds were vaulted or non-vaulted because I bought them all grown up.

Just out of curiosity - why do you want vaulted chicks/birds? Silkies do not have a vaulted skull requirement like Polish do. A vault does not make the crest any bigger. I haven't seen any advantages of having a cerebral hemorrhage so I was wondering why you wanted them?

my adult snow still has his vault? You should be able to feel it.

Ok, I guess I need to go catch Jaz and Minkie and see if they have a bump on their heads.. Does it get bigger as they age or is it small like when they were born?
