Silkie Roo

[RAWR]

my silkie roo died, so now i need a new one

at the moment i have 3 whites, 1 blue, and i think a splash
what color roo would work for those colors and how much does a silkie roo cost?
so far i have $4 in my "Silkie Roo Funds"
would a roo be that hard to find? i live in SW Indiana

Its all going to depend on the quality you want. If you want just a pet quality one, you are looking at usually $5-10. If you want decent breeder quality or something with show potential (maybe just not in condition right now), then you are looking roughly in the $25-50 range. If you want something that has a proven show record, in perfect condition right now, and is a proven breeder (AI or natural), then you are probably looking $75-250. Now is the time of the year to pick them up while people are thinning out their growout pens. If you can pick up something decent locally you will save yourself $60+ in shipping charges.

Oh yeah and the PQ or even mediocre quality ones are very easy to find. I sell lots of them to the Asians or pet homes every year because I don't think they are the caliber that should be bred from. Finding a 'awesome' show caliber one is quite a bit harder.

just what i needed to know
so far i have $6 to spend on a roo

PQ is perfectly fine with me cuz i more then likly wont show them, and i just want something to hug and pet when im having a bad day
(also i see what silkie eggs can for, and a little extra cash wouldnt hurt

)

Can't you place an ad on craigslist looking for one and maybe you could do some trading?
