Another “is this a roo” post…

There is a roo in the flock that has been crowing for about two weeks now, but not a peep from this one. Acts very hen like but I’m not sure…

Once I had a big rooster who's brother didn't crow or mate at all. Now I butchered the main rooster because he over mated all the hens. And his brother is now the main rooster and crows.

So if you think that it is still a roo then its probably not number one roo

Funny enough, this one is bigger than the crowing brother! I only have a very small flock of four and it’s my first time owning chickens so I’m not sure if it’s okay to keep them both, even if one is docile?

I would either buy more silkie hens or Kill the not your favorite roo

But that's funny about the rooster being bigger than the main rooster or is it a rooster🕵

I will probably be buying more hens anyway! If one has to go I thankfully know of some people who are looking for silkie roosters, I’m just completely unsure if it’s a hen or not the only thing throwing me off is the size, it’s the biggest of the flock.

Here is a comparison pic to a hen.
