Crossed, blue, if it was pure would have been black, TSC silkie rooster 5lbs live weight, I'd have to weigh him again for dressed weight, haven't tried him yet, well, maybe he's a little blueish also, young giant (omg the drumsticks were huge!) silkie, langshan, very young welsumer EE cross. Nobody had good growth for their age, but the giant had huge dark very tender turkey legs, all the rest were tough, haven't tried the silkie yet.

My turkey ran away this morning but I am going over to the neighbors tomarrow to see if they seen her or if she is there

Talk to every 'old' person you know or see, you can't get a better education then them, they are the ultimate coolest, I love talking to and being educated by 'old' people.

Okay, I realize these may be a silly questions but... that don't scare me!

When you cook up an FM bird Does the meat and skin stay black? And...

What color are the drippings and broth? And...

Does anyone have a pic of a cooked FM bird?

@Beekissed Very handsome dogs.

I have an Anatolian named Paladin. I got him after the chicken massacre at a time when I had no chickens, so he was never bonded to chickens. He is in charge of the goats.

Baked Silkie ... a bit too dark for a good pic. Cooked in orange juice, with cinnamon, ground cloves, and a touch of cayenne pepper.

Do the silkies taste any different than other chickens? I'm wondering if the pigment has flavour.

 

[Beekissed]

Not in my opinion. And the meat is rather stringy, not dense and finely textured like a good meat chicken should be.
