    Should I breed my silkie rooster? Pet quality? Advice appreciated!

    Thank you for the feedback! I ended up getting a better looking roo over the last year, from an egg from a breeder who shows. The difference is really great to see- he isn’t perfect but much closer to sop than this white rooster is. I still have my white rooster and am now using him for my...
