Silkies really have black bones too? My silkies are so tiny I don't know there would be any meat on them! ---Not tryin to irritate with this post---

Post photos of silkie meat when you do it, sounds interesting! I love silkies, but would eat one. (not the expensive $15 a chick type though!)

Sorry, it's just a habit i suppose (the majority of my posts are in the breeds and genetics section).
And to those of you that are apposed to eating a silkie, i understand where you're coming from, a silkie is usually meant to be a pet so you see it as eating a pet (i assume) so its understandable.

Assuming this was moved to the meaties because it had something to do with silkie meat or something....

Now that it's here....

I just processed a few silkie cross banty roos last weekend. They were tasty. The actual meat is chicken colored (white breast, dark leg/thigh), but where it met the bone it was black. I had 8 of them, made about 2 gallons of rich broth, and about 3lbs of shredded chicken meat.

I find it funny that this section is one of the only sections on this board where eating your chickens is acceptable. Silkie or not.... it's a chicken. No disrespect, but that's why I hang in this section and don't venture too far. I would be crucified for my beliefs in other parts of this forum. But hey, we all have our ways I guess. Diapers for some, fancy coops for others, me.... well give me the grill and of course... a silkie, I mean a chicken.

That just about says it!

Too bad the OP had to edit their post, after the "warm reception" they got when they first posed the question.

I'm pretty new to BYC, but figured out that I my participation here was going to fit best in the meat birds thread and the turkey thread. Sure, I've got laying hens, and I love 'em to death, but if I posted in any of the other threads, I think I would accidentally ruffle someone's feathers!

I'll ocassionally read the other sections but I usually stick to the meat and turkey ones. They have been the most usefull to me.
