The one I kept was the son of the original. I found the father dead one day. Don't know what happened.
He used to shake his head around a lot and then gone. This bloke does the same but not as bad.
Although he is only 90% GLW he is a gentleman and not aggressive to the girls. Not too noisy though. He is OK.
He has the rose comb and some feathers on each side of the comb look like devil horns. They stick up and out
and makes him look like a punk. :razz: I don't know if I have a pic of him in the gallery or not, will have to check.

So can silkies I have 1 rooster that cannot stay in the coop when any of the girls have chicks as he kills them yet I have 5 other that are great dads not sure why he is like that

There are chick sexing courses, just check your local newspaper as many poultry clubs and community centres run them.

Most clubs hold workshops on sexing chicks I would contact your local bird club and ask

Hi Kimdew,
I am afraid that we don't have a local bird club that I know of.
It's quite a drive away and I am not familiar with the locations near Grantham or Gatton.
