Need help with new adoptions

you should tell them that it would be smarter for them to try to well them all and buy cornish rocks if they want them for meat then they would be better or even red or black broilders

I agree with you absolutely here, but they are Taiwanese and they consider the silkies to be a Chinese medicinal. They like to eat the bones, cartilage and skin more than the meat. Different culture I guess!

Hooray for silkies! I saw one at the humane society and my mom (from Taiwan) had no idea what I was talking about until I looked it up found out they had black skin and were a delicacy in Asia. Her face totally lit up with understanding. I thought they'd be distinctive enough being all fuzzy!

Tell me how the integration goes if you "kidnap" a few. I'm trying to integrate a bantam in with my own standard sized sweet girls and would love to pick up any tips that work for you

If you take pics of the silkies up close we might be able to help sex them and ive heard of silkie roos as quiet, docile temperment, and friendly to people, hens, and other roos.

Silkies are one of the hardest breeds to sex. If I were you, I'd just look for the ones that hardly have any comb at all, not that that's a guarantee. I used to have two white silkies I raised from eggs and one little bantam roo. I knew the silkies were girls when he started trying to mount them. Are there any known roosters in with the rest that could help you sex them?
