Thanks, I'll send you my cell # through your e-mail. I work all over memphis and beyond (Contractor). I'd like 2 for my teen to raise. She helps with our other flock (75+) and wanted to get her some silkies(she really likes them when we go see a friend with some) as a surprise. Thanks and I'll...
Not exactly sure on the weekend of Trade Days(neighbor mentioned it the other day), but it's located on hwy 306 and hwy51 in coldwater . Its like First Monday in Ripley....Redneck Garage sale...LOL.My neighbor is bringing some of his chicks to sale , but he has no Buffs Good luck if finding some.

Everything I googled online said for them to mate you have to make them "DIET". Roos have problems "mounting hens" and their weight and laziness don't make them seem to be the best of breed stock...just my opinion here , but I think getting meat pullets from hatchery is far easier than making...
Thanks Barg, I've read on some of the trait for both breeds and it seems that they sound like the same animal (forgive the pun) on characteristics and behavior. I Understand the Barring and the rose traits ,guess some of my hens have been from both sides of the gene pool. Thanks for checking...
