crazy kc Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 I don't what age they started as they were 20 weeks when I got them. I have hatched some of their chicks this year, they are 10 weeks old and no crowing but I still can't tell what sex they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pikey Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 My pekin cockerel didn't crow till about 18 weeks.....started with more like a squawk then it developed into proper crow by 20 weeks, Def looks like a boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_lowe Posted September 28, 2010 Author Share Posted September 28, 2010 I was thinking it was a cockeral, it seemed to have changed quick, and its always play fighting with my other cockeral good to watch as they r both 15weeks old Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Egluntyne Posted September 28, 2010 Share Posted September 28, 2010 Those wattles are very impressive for a 15 week chick, so I'd guess you have a cockerel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallyChook Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 definitely a boy! more male looking than the boy white silkie I have (sold to me as Mildred.... now is called Count Dracula... long story!) he is about 25 weeks and still no crow but plenty of squaring off to the younger boys and also he rather enjoys the company of the one POL lady in the pen, if you know what I mean! x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark_lowe Posted September 29, 2010 Author Share Posted September 29, 2010 oh, it's a boy then I was given a few eggs when my hen went broody, I didn't know anything about the chicks, now I've got 2 cockerals 15weeks old Will a silkie cockeral and a Pekin cockeral get on ok together? they are fine at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
