The First Crow

[Stacyoung13]

My 4 1\2 month old Silkie roo tried crowing for the first time this morning !
He sounded so cute. The crow was all squeaky and broken, but cute as h____ !! I have a 7 month SLW , he tried crowing a couple weeks ago, his was cracky , but not squeaky. After his 3rd try my mature Plymouth Rock (Gator) pushed him off the perch . Now every time he tries , Gator pecks or chases him . Ping {Silkie) gave it his all about 5 times , wing flaps and everything ! He just looks too small to be so big. LOL.

Usually a young cockerel will not crow in the presence of an older roo because they would get beaten up. Silkie has alot of spunk

My silkies are in their own coop and run . There is a fence between them. But my 2 silkie roos are spunky. They try to challenge right through the fence
crowing
more interest in older girls than crowing so far .

That's what I was afraid of. I didn't want them to get hurt, so I built them their own area off the side. They can all interact and stay safe.
