    What breed is best for meat chickens?

    Silkie without leg feathers??

    Mine agree about 5-6 wks now and two of them have no leg feathering at all. The other four are getting very fluffy legs, but just on the outside surface, not on their toes. I am interested to see what they look like when they are totaly feathered out. They are all adorable in my eyes no matter...
