Silkie Large Fowl

[MysteryChicken]

That bird would have a much lower BMI because the areas it holds its weight are elongated genetically. They are bred to be tall and thin.

You caught me before I edited my post. I realized I read it wrong, & deleted the question.

3.5 feet is a good sized bird. Malays have also been reported to get that tall.

Oh ok

It's okay.

LF Silkies have Feathered legs.

I'm using LF Silkie X Brahma to keep the Birds Large for the Giant Silkie Project. After I get my main Stable Flock I'll be crossing in Malay.

O can’t wait to see when u mix in the Malay!!! I was thinking of getting a Malay roo for that EE Malay mix hen u helped me identify.
