Big silkie

[plantguy90]

I have only had silkie soup in Chinese herbal soup; and those herbs are nasty. Can't really tell if Silkie tastes any different than lighter chickens from that soup, since it all tastes like nasty herbs. Personally I like dark meat, and if Silkie has almost no body fat, then its not really my kind of chicken...

And I would be interested too in a 10 lb silkie! Put me on your list, give me the friends and family rate!

Shadowpaoints - I'd be interested in hatching eggs for standard sized silkies, if they lay med to large eggs.

Mmmm... I LOVED the soup... but personally I like the bitterness...
Do you have the recipe by any chance?

Not speaking to my mother and don't plan on to (due to cultural clashing) but I sure do miss her cooking.
I'd eat silkies I guess, but they're worth more live to me as pets lol than food... they're also great for being broody <3
I don't know if my parents would accept another colored silkie other than white - I know we have ALWAYS had silkies. Period.

big silkie ... hmmmm i have one of those! lol evyle is gonna end up in the stew pot if she dont start layin soon!!

here she is with one of my sex link pullets. both of them are almost 1 year old!

silkies are one of the slowest breeds to mature. hens, it takes from 11-14 months. you must be patient with her.
