You hit the nail on the head.................. they are in the Foo-Foo class of poultry, silly looking hairdo birds with goofy names who everybody refers to "as Cute" LOL. Never much cared for them and they aren't real smart either.
But I have bought many at local auctions for the sole purpose to sell to the oreintal market...........for their tables, but they don't go into my pens because my birds make fun of them and call them names and the silkies cry hehehehehe.
You may have to eat your words someday Al. I read that a "secret' of one of the most successful White Cornish breeders was his use of a flock of scrub Silkie hens to hatch Cornish eggs. Don't know if this is fact or legend, but have been told by another that his hatches of Cornish are better when he lets one go broody. I'd rather let a Silkie sit on eggs then one of my Cornish, so have considered getting some.
I tried that too long ago Steve, they never sat on them to term and were to stupid to stop setting and starved themselfs to death, Sorry but I can't stand for that kind of idiocy in my pen's, I would love to have some broody's but not silkies that's for sure.
