Gold/Red silkie rooster wanted
Looking for a gold/Red silkie cockerel
Any age. Even just off heat. Looking for 2 if possible. Hoping to breed some goldtops next season.
Location: Limerick

Just a wee heads up.
To breed goldtops, you use a white silkie male over light sussex females.
This way they are sex linked and males can be culled at dayold.
The females hatch a golden colour, while the males hatch yellow.

Oh right. It's just I bought some this year and the ones I bought where from a gold silkie. Thanks for the heads-up desy. I better go do some more research before I get something that isn't what I'm looking for.

Goldtops are first crosses between a RED or GOLD silkie rooster and a light sussex hen.
