Thank you all for your replies. I don't know if they are standards or not. They came from the feed store. It's good to know we can eat them though. sgtmom52, those black birds are kind of disturbing... :) One of mine is black... Guess you never know until you try.
Now what do I do? We process our extra Bo roos, but what do you do with silkies? I can't imagine keeping all 3 of them. I learned last winter that keeping too many roos is very hard on the hens. (some were accidental) I don't want to keep more than 2 roosters. Would a silky be considered...
