meezers Posted October 10, 2010 Share Posted October 10, 2010 Dilbert crowed for the first time on wednesday morning- just a short crow, I only heard him because I was standing by him.I've been listening and we haven't heard him crow since ( think he knows he's for the pot if he's too noisy ) Anyway, we just got back from walking the dogs and were stood beside the run talking to the chooks when Dilbert flapped his way to the highest perch and treated us to a dozen crows in quick succession and then , to our absolute astonishment, Dandelion answered him! Just once, but it sounded like a crow. I'm trying to convince myself it was a long squawk, but have a horrible feeling the silkie we all thought was a girl is actually a boy ! Guess it's true what they say about silkies- you can't tell until they either crow or lay an egg I was just wondering last week when she would come into lay Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meezers Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 I posted photos of her at 10 weeks old in the eggs and growers section,(most thought she was a girl ) I'll try to take some up to date ones later. Looking at 'her' this morning, she has got a bit of a tail on her. Oh dear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
