I have been to China on two occasions, and wondered what those funny looking black chickens (dead and plucked of course) in the market were....well, now I know! Love my silkies! Won't eat them though! Perchie girl....I have a beautiful partridge roo you can haveIn Asian Cuisene the black flesh of the Silky is very much prized. For flavor and percieved medicinal qualities. If there is an Asian Community in your area consider raising up Silkys.....
Silky Superfood
I found my little guys to be quite personable.... I dont care for fether footed birds either but these were OK. They had a conformation much like Bee's Silky.... and I would LOVE to have a partridge silky. Another role Silkys do for the flock is they are incredible broodies... Even the boys will warm up a chick if it needs it.
