Mr Sikie 2

Recommended Posts

Some say he is just ugly - to me he is my cute little boy I grew from an egg (now a year old).

Obviously fellow Omleters will see his beauty and admire that comb.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. :D

 

:lol: Well he is a bundle of fluff and is quite happy laid out in your arms - he is not happy if I pick up one of his girls, but I can understand that. He does have a great nature so that has to count for something - his 'beauty' is more than skin deep I feel!

His silkie feathers are just lovely and his beady eye too, so a handsome fellow if his face is not magnified. I've never been a fan of, is it called rose combs, whether legit or not.

 

Editted to add: if his personality is nice then that's what matters anyway. My Silkie boy has all the wrong head gear too but I lurve him as he is such a dear little gentleman.

Here's a suggestion for you mollyripkim . . .

Ask around your neighbours . . . proposing a 3 week trial period, then 'if' they are OK with the idea of a small cockerel hanging around (you may find some people even positively like the idea), find a breeder who would take him back should you get any complaints within the first 3 weeks.

Tempted? :whistle: Am I :twisted: ?

I've found that on the boys the tuft on the top of their head is more like 'hair' and on the girls it is more like 'fluff'

 

I think it has been said before about girls being more like a sticking up tuft on top and the boys is more swept back - the width of the comb can also be an indication. They are usually difficult to spot until holder - we thought boy from an early age, just his leg positioning, etc - only confirmed when he started to crow.

 

He actually 'shares' 14 girls with 'Mr Silkie' (hence his name of Mr Silkie 2) in the past both I have not been happy with other boys - Mr Silkie is about 6 months older (18 months now) and they just accept each other - Mr Silkie 2 is more the one for looking after the girls.
