Bring the total to 2 roosters and 4 hens. Still want a couple more, but in rented accommodation they get a bit grumpy if you have too many. Not going to get too many eggs off the silkies, but I'm planning on adding another 2 or 4 POL birds in the next couple of weeks.
You DO know you don't need a cockerel just for eggs don't you?
The silkies are weird little things, look like Fraggles. Didn't realise they have black skin and black(ish) meat, and blue ears - apparently. Seem nice and tame though, and this cockerel hasn't tried to eat Sid yet, so that's always a bonus.

Now I just need to convince the landlord to let me get in a little pygmy goat or a micro pig and we're all set
