Omlet cube and run

[LolaCola]

My poor little Pekin can't go anywhere without him jumping on her! And he over double her size

Apart from 'what the hey shall I do with him' question, I'm wondering if her eggs would be fertile and can they be eaten and what on earth would a Pekin x Silkie look like

As I type he is trying to get into the hybrids cube, I'm tempted to let him in, just so the poor little Pekin gets a break

 

We thought he was a she, but a week ago he started getting really aggressive with me and then I noticed his spers and ever since he is acting like he needs to go on some type of sex pest register

 

He doesn't crow though, is it likely he will start too? My neighbours are already at me as there were rats living in her garden and she thinks its due to my chooks

Your pekins' eggs will be fertile(if your boy is a boy!) and what you would get is know as a Pilkie (silkie x pekin) very good as broody hens I believe. Your boy might not be a boy though....dominant female will also mount!!!! I'd wait for crowing and that might be more strangled sounding from a silkie. Keep us posted!!

That is so funny sorry.i have two pekins and one is now sitting on eggs i am hopping to get chicks,very excited,they are both girls though and i had to buy the fertelised eggs at £2 each,so mabe i could borrow your sex maniac pekin to do the job. "joke"i also leave in essex.

What are you gonna do if he starts making lots of noise?

I am worried about getting lots of males out of them eggs Angie is sitting on.

I'm pretty sure he is a he, my hybrid mounted other girls in a dominate way, but this is different, and he isn't at all a dom bird, the Pekin is boss and she don't try and stop him, which I'm sure she would is he was a she.

I'm tempted to let him into the hybrids run, to see there reaction (they an be visious) cos if he is a he, I have to try and re home him ASAP

 

Your welcome to borrow him but he is a Silkie, I could hire I'm out - a chicken Gigalo

Don't worry about eating the firtile eggs as the embryo would not even start to develop till it is being incubated either naturally under a broody egg, or in an incubator. Sometimes an egg shows a wee red spot inside. This is NOT as some people think, a developing chick, but a wee blood spot that enters the egg during the egg dev process inside the hen and has nothing to do with a cockerel being present

 

A Pilkie is rather pretty. Here is my Pilkie cockerel

 

 

He will get less randy as he gets older and his hormones settle down and also when Spring passes on its way. Your larger hens would probably recognise him as a boy and not mind his size. So you could let him in with them under supervision, but be ready to take him out if he gets bullied.

 

My boy's crow is not all that loud, but not all that pretty either. He does a sort of 'cock a doodle' and then finishes with a 'doo' that sounds rather like a cat being strangled (As I'd imagine one to sound, that is. I've never actually heard a cat being strangled and hope I never will )

He is a handsome chap Shabby and your garden is beautiful!

I wish I could keep him, if he is a he.......
