Old lady Poof decided to kick the bucket sometime last night.

I'm sorry.

Im sorry about Old Lady Poof.

It's just Poof. She was between 6-7 yrs old. Just a couple years younger then her mother Fluffy.

This project is designed to create giant fluffy chickens.

Who doesn't love Silkies, & wish they had some the size of Brahmas?

I have both Silkies, & Brahmas, color patterns isn't a concern until Silkie feathering, 5 toes, & black skin are produced.

I'll only be using my largest Silkie cockerels/roosters to breed with my Brahmas.

Hello,
Since you are a friend to Silkie Roosters. My qusetion is what to do and who to contact if I find that my Silkie Pullet, Gidget, is no crowing like mad at 16 weeks. Yes, I figured out she/he is a Roo. It happens. He is beautiful and is taking great charge of the flock, even my older dominant gal, but due to an HOA I can only have Hens. Where is some local places to look to rehome him. I am desperate as it is jeopardizing the rest of my flock. I have called local farms, craigslist, freecycle, farmers market and farms at the market but it is difficult to find a rehome option in the subburbs of Northern Virginia.
Ideas?
Much thanks
Flossie
