artic 595 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Mmm, very tasty. Black chicken is actually a Silkie bantam, and it's the skin that's only black. Usually given as a medicine meal/drug. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Usually given as a medicine meal/drug. silkies come in large as well as bantam, they arent the only black skinned/black meat breed.... theres an indonesian breed called ayam cemani but they are very rare and highly sought after, im after a pair of them myself... problem is they command prices of 100 plus each Quote Link to post Share on other sites

blackdug 90 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 must be rare as i have a 40 year old asian sitting beside me just now and i asked them ever seen a black chicken and showed them the photo and they said never !!!but reckoned it would not be to hard to stain the meat somehow ,,,, Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,396 Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 Thats what i was thinking its a silkie as when i breed them you couldn't give the surplus cockerals away because of the skin they where only good for ferret food Quote Link to post Share on other sites
metallica fish 0 Posted January 30, 2011 Report Share Posted January 30, 2011 (edited) looks like slikies to me, i would try it. dunno why it would taste any different Edited January 30, 2011 by metallica fish Quote Link to post Share on other sites
matt_p 0 Posted February 5, 2011 Report Share Posted February 5, 2011 I never fancied it when I had a few silkies, couldn't stand the thought of it for some reason. I am sure it would taste the same, but not for me I am afraid. The bones of silkies are also supposed to be green, and as arctic said, are used in medicine.
