Yes they do crow I have 5 and they crow every morning and sometimes when I am feeding them - like saying thank you
roosters crow to reestablish their territory
Roosters can not crow if they can't fully extend their necks.
The real question is: Who trains roosters to crow at sunrise?
Hens will sometime attempt to mimic a rooster if no rooster is present within a flock. Usually the alpha hen, the top of the pecking order takes on the role of protector of the flock in the absence of a male. This can, but not always include the mimicry of the sounds a rooster makes.
Yes. Ive seen it myself
No, silkie HENS won't crow loud enough to disturb the neighbours but the male, the cockerel, certainly will. one of my silkies seems to think 4.20am is a fine time to wake me, good job I don't have any neighbours.
Im asking the same question lol, i have 3 frizzles and 1 black silkie baby, and from what ive read so far. They do crow but it is no where near other roos, one site even said their silkie roo coo's instead of crowing
Most Silkie hens and roosters are identical and sometimes the rooster Silkie doesn't crow through out his whole life. The only way you can tell them apart if the Silkie is mating with hens and has a spur then of course it is a rooster. And if a Silkie laid eggs or is sitting on eggs then she is a hen. Another way to tell them apart is if you have a hybrid Silkie that Silkie might get a big wattle and comb.

Roosters crow in order to show other roosters that it is their territory. It is said that roosters crow in the morning but researchers have observed that they crow at all the times whether it is morning, afternoon or in the evening.
Sounds like possibly a Polish hen or a Silkie
Roosters don't have to crow early in the morning. My rooster crows all day, and our neighbor's old chicken crowed all the time. They don't really crow in the morning.
Roosters crow.
