$200 chicken?

[jqs birds]

Asils or maybe shamos
Asils are great mothers and setters.

My pair of aseels/asils are extremely sweet and will come right up to me and like getting picked up

I have gotten probably a total of about 15 eggs from her this whole year but she's one of my favorites. I have them mixed in with my main flock which consists of The asil pair, 2 Black giants, 2 Frizzle bantam cochin hens ( which are the asil roo's favorites lol), 4 red sex-links, and one white leghorn They all get along extremely well

Heres some pics

Silkies = poodles AND retards of the chicken world.

That's funny. I like to think of my standard cochins as little Old English Sheepdogs.

As for the $200 chickens-

thank god they're not all that pricey, or we'd have nothing to talk about.​

To my mind the price record for bizarre was the pet quality silkie that sold on eggbid several years ago for something like $1100 (or was that $1300?)

I really don;t have a problem with higher prices for high quality birds, but this one was worth at most $10.

Birds are not cheap. Price depends on the individual bird, seller and purchaser. When I had my flock of Roman Tufted Geese, I paid a fair amount for 2 ganders that were shipped from the west coast. Has anyone priced exhibition quality call duck - oh my gosh!!! IMO the Asian breeds are gorgeous! I have some young Sumatras that I am anxious to see develop.
