Two Beautiful Silkies - South Central area

[TJAnonymous]

I have two purebred Silkie roos who need to find a new home in the next few days. Both are 10 months old and very docile. I can't keep them.... One is pure white. The other is a blue splash. I'm located in Central Arkansas but would be willing to travel 4-6 hours to meet someone if it would save their lives.

I hope you find them a good home! Your blue splash looks just like mine! To bad I’m in Florida I would take them.

Thanks! Yes, he's quite pretty.... Will be such a shame to cull him if I can't find him a home this weekend.

Thanks! I’m going to breed her parents, the roo I showed you was one and her mom is a bantam Cochin. I would save him and breed him(here’s the mom) they look nothing alike

Well he's a pretty boy in his own right and clearly throws out lovely offspring. I hatched out 9 Silkies from Alabama Silkies. Unfortunately, five of them ended up being roos.... I'm only able to keep 2. Already had to put 1 down so I'm trying to rehome these 2 to prevent culling them.

Culling any animal is sad and unpleasant but putting down a Silkie, in particular, feels like you're killing the family dog. It just really hurts my heart.... This is my last ditch Hail Mary pass.... Every other avenue I've tried has failed.

I hope you can find them a home! Try posting in your state thread.

Do you still have any silkies to re-home? I will drive to pick them up. Would love a pair or just a roo if you have one.

Yes, I do. I don't have any adult hens but I do have adult rooster and some unsexed babies.
