Good idea. Has anyone ever eaten a ee/ silkie mix? Wonder if it's good. It has black skin.You could raise the roos fer meat too
I crossed a silkie rooster on a cornish X hen. I sold the 8 - 9 week old chicks to a lady at work, I can't remember where she and her family came from. They were dressing out at 3 - 4 pounds. I loved how they tasted, much better than store bought, more of a meaty gamey flavor.
Not only is their skin black, but their meat, bones and innards are blue. Mike wouldn't eat the meat, but once I bit into it, I didn't care what color the meat was.
