Most expensive breed of chicken?

[MrsBrooke]

Save me a pair!

Would you consider offering a 90% discount if I was willing to pick them up in person?

Sorry. All sold out until 2016.

It is older than the United States of America and worthy of centuries of reputation.

At least one portion of that is accurate and not exaggeration

Well, both are true....but I'd call the whole thing an exaggeration ;-)

Quote: There are some actual scientific journal studies on the meat of all black birds that do support them as being healthier. Offhand I do not recall the specifics, but I have browsed through the article within the last year. I believe it had to do with the specific proteins and either enzymes or possibly minerals in the black flesh. Silkie meat has been a part of Asian medicine for centuries. I don;t eat chicken, so I have no first hand knowledge. Just interested in studies about silkies.

There are several breeds older than the United States, LOL.

Quote: Yes, the Fm gene is the same in silkies and in Ayam Cemani. I am left wondering, though, why the cemani are so much blacker than the typical silkie? I had speculated (as had some other silkie breeders) that the exact amino acids of Fm might vary slightly, but analysis shows it to have exactly the same amino acid makeup

I would say that you do have the best White Dorkings, LOL. If not the best Dorkings. Are there any better?

Quote: True, but the dorking breed dates back to the Roman occupation of Britain, older than most current breeds. However, I'm not sure how long WHITE dorkings have been around, lol. And I did notice that the BREED was listed as "white dorking."
