What is Schmelvis?

[MamaMarcy]

Hello. My name is Schmelvis. I'm a showgirl silkie. I have dried egg yolk on my crest and comb, so please excuse all that. My person wants to know if I'm a boy or girl. I don't crow and I don't think i'm laying eggs and the girls chase me.

Thanks,
Schmelvis

Schmelvis is a cockerel, and what is he doin with egg yolk on his crest?

 

[MamaMarcy]

Egg is yummy.

 

[sourland]

Around here chickens who think that egg is yummy are turned into yummy dishes themselves.

One egg eater can educate an entire flock.

It's not them cracking eggs...it's me feeding them eggs...I haven't had any problems with them raiding the coop.

how old is this silkie?

 

[MamaMarcy]

[hdowden]
