I also need a chicken breed that is a pretty decent Egg Layer, preferably brown eggs. That was my families compromise :rolleyes:. And last but not least, I need them to be...

    Mid-Michigan Red Silkie rooster

    I cannot take in my friends' red silkie rooster. He is about 18 months old and very tame. I am helping find a home. If you are interested in him, for free, let me know. I can also send him with one of his girls for a small fee.

    Returning to BYC

    I was on here about 10 years ago. Got busy with living in the rat race. I am taking a friend's chickens in a sort of emergency situation. It makes me happy to be of help. I am excited to be returning to tending some hens.
