meezers Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 Right, here is Dandelion, first posted photos of 'her' at 10 weeks and was unnanimous that she was a girl. I think she crowed on sunday, so what do you reckon now , boy ? sorry for the pic overload, but I wanted to get as many angles as pos. thanks.

CallyChook Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 possibly the most useless post that I'm making now... but good grief I'm bored! To me - the hair do and wattle look just like my white boy, but the comb looks too smooth. Although it is wide. Here's my boy's face, he is about 23 weeks and my girl - laying so for definite!! So - my vote is that Mr Dandelion is a fella (sorry! he is lovely though I too have too many boys so know the pain!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meezers Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 Yep, it's the comb that's confusing. All the pics I found on the net showed bobbly type combs . What do you think about the 'tail', I'm sure it's sprouted in the last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallyChook Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 looks just like my boy in profile... *searches photo stocks* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 I think he's a boy.... can you keep him? Silkie cocks are adorable, they are real gentlemen. we had to rehome ours (neighbours and noise) but still really miss him - and the girls loved him.

meezers Posted October 12, 2010 Author Share Posted October 12, 2010 I could possibly keep him , I still have Dilbert though and don't really have any need of one boy, let alone two. We are rural, but in a semi at the end of a cul de sac, so we have 1 neighbour who'd get full benefit of the crowing . There are several other cockerels in the village, but they are at the bottom of long gardens of terraces. We'll see how it goes, fingers crossed they won't be too noisy. Haven't heard a peep out of Dandelion since that one attempt at a crow on sunday, and Dilbert has crowed sunday afternoon and at 8am this morning. Dilbert will be for the pot if he gets unbearable, but I really don't fancy eating silkie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beach chick Posted October 12, 2010 Share Posted October 12, 2010 no... and probably not that much meat on one anyway!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
