Are you raising chickens for shows? Or maybe for their rare, beautiful feathers? Then you’re playing a whole different game.
These birds aren’t on a timeline for meat or eggs. You’re raising them for perfection. That takes time. Silkie chickens, for example, grow super slowly.
They might not be “fully grown” until they’re six months to a year old. And they’re basically cotton balls with feet. So just be prepared to wait.
