I'll talk to my parents but I also have a idea that might work in the long run. My current rooster has mated with his sister and she just recently hatched chicks but they got eaten by rats (That's why we're building a chicken house). Once this hen has chicks that survive and grow up I'll sell or give away the rooster so he won't mate with his own kids. Then I can get a silkie roo and keep him to breed silkies! It's quite a long way to do it but its the easiest way for me and my parents! But for now I'm more than happy with just the hens! Silkies are awesome!
No, Ireland. We battled to get internet at our new house, which surprised me. I thought thing's go smoother here! LOL But we do live in a rural spot and the internet's fast once you got it. I sometimes couldn't get the smilies etc to work when I replied to a post back home, but here I can do anything quick-quick. I have noticed that the few times the signal's a bit low I can't get into my gmail, but BYC works 100%. I can view pics etc, no problem.where are you now? America? I hate our internet! A 5 min youtube video takes 10 min to load!
Yeah I also think that breeding roosters with their own family is kind of wrong! I don't like him having chicks with his sister but I guess this once can't harm! If I have a single silkie roo with a few hens all the eggs from the silkie hen will be pure and all the others mixed! Mixed are my favorites since you never know what to expect once they grow up! It's like opening a present!
