Is my pretty girl a pretty him?
Our take
Is your pretty girl actually a pretty him? It sounds like you have quite the feathered mystery on your hands with Sylvie! Having welcomed her into your flock nearly a year ago, it’s understandable that her age and gender might be a bit murky. Silkies can be tricky to read, especially with those fluffy feathers hiding their true identities. Adding a new rooster could certainly shake things up in the coop, and it’s not uncommon for a hen to surprise us with an unexpected crow! While it might feel a bit daunting, remember that chicken identities can be fluid. Let’s dive into the delightful world of chicken gender guessing and explore whether your Sylvie girl is still a lady after all! 🐔✨
| | My Sylvie girl has been with us for almost a year and we don’t actually know how old she was when we got her but she was smaller and younger for sure. Maybe a few months old. We got two silkies about 2 months apart and the younger one was crowing months ago so he went to a new farm… this ‘lady’ should be a bit older and hadn’t crowed until today. We happened to add a new rooster to the flock just last night and removed the old rooster to a different run for aggression. Thoughts? Male or female crows? Any chance my Sylvie girl could still be a lady? Thank you! ☺️ [link] [comments] |
