interesting article about silkies --

I thought some of you silkie-lovers might like this article. It's about the use of "black-boned silkie fowl" in Chinese medicine --

do all silkies have black bones?

Asians at the market like black birds for special occasions too. Something to do with their religion.

So I figure when I have an excess of roos I will have no problem selling them. (Unless I cant see them go for slaughter)
