Katy-Lyon Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 Ok. I have a flock of 6, all around 22 weeks old with mixed breed. In this I have 2 silkies. Both look the same, no wattles, no streamer feathers, similar hight etc..... However. One has started to shout in the mornings. It's not a crow and it's only been the last 4 days. Thoughts? Could she be a he? I normally have ex bats so this is all new to me. It's the black one in the pic 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cat tails Posted June 19, 2020 Share Posted June 19, 2020 I have hens that used to call in mornings. They are triggered by the cockerels of the horse riding school about a km away... Maybe she is just getting ready to lay. Or maybe he is still trying to find his voice... 🤷🏼♀️ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken_Cottage Posted October 5, 2022 Share Posted October 5, 2022 Francesca, look like a hen to me, I have 16 silkies and the tails of the 2 cockerels are more defined feathers and at that age had started to develope the mulberry comb and wattles.
