Silky question.

[bidibird]

I have 3 little silkies but none of them have blue ears and 1 of them has light colored eyes.Are they full blooded or just not from a good blood line? They look fine and I don't really care because they are just pets and I love them anyway. I'm just curious. They are probably all roosters too.

If they don't have blue earlobes then they ar probably mixed with another breed. I have 6 silkies and they all have blue earlobes. Are they really all roosters?

Probably. They chest bump a lot and one of them calls the others over for food but then runs away. They are 3 months old so I guess I'll have to wait a while before I know for sure. They are not like my silkies I had years ago. I have picked them up every single day and they still act like I'm going to kill them but they run to me when I call them. I hope that if they are Roos they won't try to kill each other.Thank you for answering.

All roosters and no hens (especially roosters raised together) are often fine. It's once a hen comes into the picture that they will fight. Sort of like teenage boys in the human world.

Yeah I'm familiar with that I have 2 in a flock of 4.
