Anyone in Oregon want a White Bearded Silkie Rooster? Very tame handled daily would make a great children's pet.

I know I read that silkie hens go broody a lot but how often is a lot cause I have one that hatched eggs in March and just hatched more yesturday. I only allow her a couple eggs at a time cause I don't want too many more chickens.

Hi, I have two silkie roosters. I think I am finally coming to terms with that. Anyho, I was thinking of maybe giving showing a try. Is the buff okay as a starter do you think? To breed with? What are his good points? I think he is about 4 months old. He is not crowing yet. Thanks heaps for any insight you can give me.
