Well pets I guess they will be. I was hoping to let the girls use them as a start for the 4-H. Guess that wont be happening. I was also hoping to use on to breed to my showgirl but I am thinking that should not be done either

. So one of the boys atleast is going to have to find a new home I cant have 500 pet roos and 5 hens lol!!

Get them some frizzle cochin hens! They already have the straight comb- why not keep going and make some sizzles? My daughter is just starting out with her own birds- and that's what we did. LOVE them!

Sizzles need a walnut comb, not a straight comb.

Your girls can still use them for showmanship classes! They do not focus on the faults of the birds there...it is all about handling.
And I think they are adorable! I would not use them at all for breeding BTW but there is no reason why they couldn't make great pets used for showmanship!

Don't you just love those fat toes!

you know, i haven't really been all that drawn to the silky breed, but these guys with the combs are too cute... i don't know why that makes a difference for me, but i've never seen it, and never wanted a silky until i saw these 2... and i wasn't fond of all the black skin and stuff... but the one with the black comb... oohh i'd take him home in a heartbeat...
if you keep them and end up wanting to breed them i'd buy some of the eggs in hopes to get one with a comb like that...

So, you're saying you will happily take single-combed silkie culls?

I like the straight comb too. The walnut comb on silkie roos is repelling to me. Never liked them until I got a sizzle roo with a single comb. I didn't know sizzles were supposed to have walnut comb. Hmmmm-guess I'll just sell any babies that have that and keep the ones that don't.

Now there's something different- keeping your culls!

If you were closer I would say come pick them up

. I have no idea what to do with them. I am not going to Cull just hope to rehome them! Or atleast one! As far as Showmanship goes I would use them for that but the girls have the most tame Showgirl in the world. Walk up pick her up carry her around doesnt move loves her people!!
