2 Bantam Silkie Mixes - Bradenton FL Area - Able to drive

[judifur]

One hen, one cockerel. Hen is more Cochin, cockerel is more silkie. Very tame - needing to re home due to life changes. Plus roosters are not allowed in this area, Hen is two years old and lays about once a day. Cockerel was hatched in April.

I would include all extra feed and accessories I have on hand.

I am willing to drive up to an hour, meeting halfway is an option.

Really trying to find a good home for them - not having much luck with Craigslist or Facebook. They are very pretty and mild mannered.

Love the pictures!

I'm a bit further than you were willing to drive. And you are a lot further than I can do in one day.

If you still have them in a few weeks, send me a message. I have to make a trip to FL, but don't have dates because my ranch babysitter hasn't committed to dates yet.

I'm totally willing to drive a bit more! About how far are you? In a couple weeks i have to make a trip to GA - maybe we can coordinate?

Are you sure that silkie is a rooster? It doesn't look very rooster-like to me.

Well, I'm not a huge expert or anything but he was slow to feather, has thick legs, developed a red comb early on (hidden by his poof head) and has some decorative tail drape developing.

He tried to crow the other day too. Unless he starts to lay eggs I feel pretty sure he's a dude bird.

Ok, I just couldn't see the comb very well. I'm also not very good at sexing silkies.

Are they still available? I'm in Zolfo Springs and would love to take them in
