also have another question, I am needy today,

remember a couple weeks ago when I processed the silkie and took it to work ,, well the buyer  of that chicken now wants 2 more....here's the dilemma I quit working with silkies and only have a few left,,,if I do the last 2 roosters than all I have are some crosses..who would of thought a little silkie would have a following..((my silkie boys are not the really small ones though)...

they claim they tasted different, wonder about the crossses..  I never ate any of the pure silkie so I wouldn't know, I have used the bones for stock though and it seemed no different.

Well, if you have any silkie hens I will take those before they become someone's dinner

Wing, 1 of your Bresse eggs is pipped.

daddy is most likely a OE , that could be interesting

A nice heavy green egg layer...cool!

I was thinking more of the body type of bresse with some color added from the OE side, could make some nice eye candy

What colors is the daddy?

I have a silkie cross, I think I got from wing I would happily rehome. She refuses to stay in the layer pen and I don't want her in the pen she demands to be in

Quote: yes you did,,got a pic, curious how she turned out, as opposed to the crosses that I still have.

My husband suggested that too lol (I do remember chip & Dale lol) but supposedly the EES are all pullets and I'm not allowed to name the bantams. They're the kids' chicks lol. I'm picking up 4 marans on Friday so maybe I'll name one of them Dale

No one remembers Dale Evans?

Quote: more curious about size,,,The small size is what turns me away from the silkie, even though I have a few larger roo's I could never get that to pass on to the hen's......and I am really bad at genetics

hello all

does anyone raise coturnix quail near SE PA?


I would like to get a male and a few females................

especially once it gets a bit warmer so that they can be primarily outdoors.


I am hoping they will be substitute for chicks.............

Plus I love the decorative egg shells

I did not forget about you,,,I am waiting till this weekend when I start to move birds around to take a good look at what was overwintered in the quail cages, I kept some breeders but not sure what I have to spare till I start hatching eggs again this season....my quail do not come inside they get overwintered in a corner of the equipment shed with tarps thrown over the cage when the weather gets to bad...

I also recommend that you get more than 1 female,,,,,,,those boys can quickly overbreed just 1 female....
