How old are they? Don't be surprised if they lay an egg for you...

 

[DevilsDenHen]

They are about 15 1/2 weeks now.

I wouldn't sell them for a while. I think the wattles are too small to be boys. My pic is of about the same age, girl in front, boy in back.

So compared to a silkie how big are the roosters? I want to buy one and have him mate with my silkie hens - he won't be to big right? Thank you! Awesome birds!

Oh my cockerels are almost 16 weeks old and they are huge! I dont have any silkies to compare to. But my bantam cochin is about 1/4 the size of them.

So bad idea to mate with my silkies?

 

[lexiredhead]

That sounded weird sorry! I mean like would it be okay to mate a jubilee rooster and a silkie hen?
