..and now we have silkies....three roosters .she's been wanting silkies..and really been wanting some a rooster and apparently got these for free.. What the heck imma do with three silkie roosters idk

O and also we have this random pig who keeps coming and moving the tractor around.

Looks like the makings of a good BBQ.

I've heard the silkies taste like chicken...

5 toed , purple skin freaky chickens!
They make awesome surrogate mothers ,and get very broody.
I've even hatched Mallard and pheasant with them.

you know if you shot that pig it would probably move the coop around a lot less.

If you don't shoot the pig.
As soon as it can root out the coop.
He's going to know how Silkie's taste.

There goes the 3 Rooster problem.

Just thinking.

Lol well it's gonna be another 12 days before I'm home so I told her that hello kitty AR of hers might need to do some work. And apparently it's three of em, uncle thinks they belong to someone on the other side of the road ....too bad it ain't one of them one that only get to like 100lbs , wouldn't mind having one of those around ....pretty sure you could use them to root up a garden bed

Yeah I've seen that . Seen folks go as far as giving them peacock eggs and they raise em just like they would anything else.

And apparently there pretty docile as a breed....which I'm not sure how I feel about because I'm 90% sure all our hens are older then these lil dudes so .... Guess I'll be building another tractor when I get home

People from Benin, Togo and Ghana prefer silkie roosters for voodoo over other breeds, because of the dark skin.

Take a rooster in your left hand, hold it above your head twist the head off while praying to a Catholic saint combined with an African god. Hold the blood in with your left hand, while you pray. With your right hand, roll the pieces of a coconut split into 4 equal sized pieces, as you ask a yes/no question.

The best answer yes is from 2 white and 2 brown sides landing up, because their is balance. 4 white sides and 3 white sides are weaker yeses. 3 brown sides is no. 4 brown sides is heck no. If you roll 4 brown sides you will have
bad misfortune until the spirit completely leaves the dead rooster. The way you can tell the spirit has left is by laying the dead rooster in a pristine, natural place, like a forest and waiting for it to stop smelling. Once it stops smelling, the spirit is gone.

If you don't want to experience misfortune, see your voodoo doctor and get a sacrifice prescription to fix what's wrong. Guineas are used for strength. Baby chicks are used for rejuvenation. Pigeons are used to clean bad energy out of a house and far seeing. Other animals have other specific purposes. The strongest animal you can sacrifice is a water turtle, but you have to be trained first.

Next, go see your voodoo pharmacist, which is me. I sell you the animals you need for what ails you. I sell $20,000.00 to $30,000.00 in animals for voodoo a year.

I don't believe voodoo works, but my clients definitely do.

I don't see 3 roosters getting very broody, but I've never owned silkies before.

.. did you just read what Kieth posted lol

My second through fifth best customers practice Vooddoo, Vudun, Santos or Santeria.

…. We just got those domesticated Africans around here … they ain’t sacrificing chickens other than batter em up and dunking them in hot grease

Nice hamp and yes without rings in their nose they will till dirt better than any machine can, as far as the birds soup would be on my list.

Im still going with fire up the smoker. Smoked chicken as you wait for the pork to finish.

The Asians around here pay a premium for those they prefer them to any other kind of chicken and prefer them alive to boot so they can butcher them themselves, they dont discard much if anything, kind of like they say about pigs where they used everything but the oink well they use everything but the cluck

They have them in the store here and they run about 15 dollars
