Romeo, white Silkie Roo. He's about a year old. Asking $10 or best offer.
This is Chip. The pics do not do him justice. He's gorgeous, with a beautiful green sheen on his wings and tail. Not sure how big he's going to get, as he's a cross with a full size hen, an Easter Egger we think...
Just found this in my Living the Country Life mag I got today. Just thought some of you might be interested in this. All of the materials are free, and it looks like the calendar should be a pretty thing to have up on the wall this next year. Lots of good information to keep our birds healthy...
