Four months ago, I hatched nine Silky chicks. They were/are adorable, and now they're mature. I have them all in a separate coop, and it's been fun to listen to the roosters learning to crow. One of them sounds like one of those old "a-oooo-gah" cars--know what I mean? He's really chesty and raspy and masculine.
