The long story of it is that I bought the chicks. 15 of them. I raise Silkies and a few Showgirls,
and I keep them penned up ALWAYS.
We live in the country surrounded by woods and the ticks and bugs can be overwhelming sometimes,
so my husband decided we need "yard birds" I kept my eye out for some chicks.
When a friend said her uncle had some chicks we went and I bought these. Did not choose this
breed, it was all he had, and he got the eggs from a local auction.
Thats why I need to ask questions, I like these chicks and I like what I'm learning about the Marans.
I get pretty involved in genetics and breeding programs and If it looks like my "yard birds" are of any quality
good enough to keep breeding them and improving then I'd like to know about it.
Not sure if this website is listed elsewhere but you can see my Silkie program at www.SonRiseSilkies.com
Thanks for the comment!
