    what else do you have waltsib?
    if i had the room , a pair of camels would be kinda nice--actually not that expensive--and a herd of mini horses maybe a peacock or 2--but they can get pretty loud

    That's it....for now....I want to raise my own cow but wife said she won't eat what she raises...I could, I'd even name him T-bone! mmmmmmmmm!

    These exotic silkie chickens are our specialty, we sell them if anyone is interested...

    They only have a few feathers, the rest is soft silk like a baby kitty!

    How do they taste? Are they better for roasting or frying?

    I want one of those chickens! These are for real right? How much do they cost? How loud are they? Would one destroy or hurt the inside of a truck? What about potty, can they be trained to go outside, or perhaps in a litter box? Any thing else about them would be great. Looks way cool.

    Raising a cow, sheep, pig ets.. Just go halves, quarters on one with somebody else and raise it at there place. Fresh raised meat is so much better than sore bought, worth the effort and saves money as well.

    We don't eat silkies!!!!!!!

    Seriously though, they have very little meat and it's black, not very appetizing...Even the roosters feel like they weigh nothing...Now if one of my bigger ducks keeps biting me, HE could end up on a plate, but not the silkies, too small and precious...Raised just to enjoy their beauty...We do eat their eggs though...The duck eggs are like super large and the silkie eggs are super small, you could eat a dozen and still be hungry...

    Yes they're real!
    Only $2-$5/ea...
    Not loud at all, barely make any noise...
    You would want to keep in a small bird cage until you stopped, very little mess and all in cage...

    Go on craigslist in your area when you're home, you may be surprised how many of them are for sale...
