Hi! Your Dolly roo is actually a Calico Silkie. You can see more like him here: https://www.google.com/search?q=cal...y6mrAarTgOgP&ved=0CAoQ_AUoAQ&biw=1024&bih=506

I know that he came out of a pure grey pen... Calico Silkie is just being used to describe anything that doesn't fit another color right now. One day I would love to see people actually breed calico silkies - I think they would be awesome.

That may be a booted bantam. d'Uccles have beards and no wattles. Booted bantams have wattles and no beards. Took me a while to figure out the difference. I agree it looks like a boy!

yep...had to look that one up...didn't know that there where 2 different breeds...Learn something new everyday..lol..

They had a Calico Silkie being shown at the Dickson show. He was a beauty.

Hiya All - I was wondering if someone could recommend a Pygmy goat or Nigerian Dwarf goat breeder in the area.  Lori - I know you have Nubians - do you happen to know anyone around with Pygmy/Dwarf goats?  Finally talked the hubby into a couple dairy goats - we were recently offered some mini-Saanens (for free), but one tested positive for CAE (and we'd much rather pay for healthy goats than risk the whole CAE thang).  Any thoughts?  Thanks y'all!

There is a place southwest of Columbia. I can't remember the city. It's called Parham Farms. They breed gorgeous nigerian dwsrfs and la manchas. All are bred for milk production. All are registered as well. Try googling their website znd see what you think.
