Does anybody grow NON-bearded broiler silkie hens???

Probably be best if you posted photos of the birds in question and many here can help you figure it out. I have not heard of a broiler silkie, I assume you are writing from a country where silkies are raised for meat? I know there are types of silkies bred for this purpose that grow quickly.

Here are a few photos.

I am in USA. I bought "bantam silkies" from JM hatchery but those grew like crazy fast compared to 2 silkies bought 3 1/2 years ago locally. So I googled and googled and there were LF silkies which are mainly found in Europe unlike USA where 95% of the silkies are bantams according to google. Upon more googling, I came upon the term "silkie broiler" from purelypoultry hatchery. I wish JM hatchery change the description from "bantam" to broiler or LF since there is no way what they sold me were true "bantam" silkies unless I happen to get a batch of "giant bantam" silkies. And I am sure there are people who are looking for broiler type silkies. I just happen to be not one of them. I prefer my silkies small and cuddly though large and puffy isn't too bad either.
