I have a hatchery black & blue silkie that I got from MPC - total PQ. I had ordered them as pullets, but both crowed just like yours in your poem. *sigh* The black one is the ugliest one to me - my brother jokes that his comb looks more like his brains are coming out of his head. I'll have to see if I can get a pic of him tonight and post it tomorrow to enter into the contest. But, your poem was wonderful!
