    You have to dry clean silkies.
    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    I don't think he meant raising chickens IN your silkies.

    Its not, you care for them just the same. They are a little more prone to predators because of the decreased vision due to the top knot feathers, but other than that they are regular birds.

    My show birds were fed special diets, and were bathed and groomed regularly, but normal farm birds are just like any others.

    LOL! You don't dry clean them, you bathe them in the sink with puppy formula flea shampoo.

    Nah. She just wants another dog to play with.
