Only if the rooster is rough.
I no longer have a Brahma/Silkie. He was the rooster that I made for starting the project.
He matured pretty quickly actually. Started breeding between 3-4 months instead of the average 5-6.
Yes, but my only Malay hen that was laying was killed by my dad's Turkey tom, recently. Now I gotta wait longer before continuing the project Giant Silkies. Got 2 hens I'm waiting on to start laying, but I may have to cross Malay rooster over Silkie hen, instead.
