Hello everyone! Connor here!
Completely redid my BYC page.
I raise blue, splash, and white show silkies, along with some other breeds(hopefully some bantam cochins in the near future) I am all about poultry and have always been fascinated with birds since I was little. I recently got into...

(Popcorn)(Roo)-4 toes on each foot
(Sal)(Roo)-4 toes on one foot, 5 on the other.
