CHINESE SILKIES NOW AVAILABLE

By Manny Pinol

Breeding materials of the Chinese Silkie, that rare chicken called locally as “Jeongkoy” or “Patane” whose body and bones are black are now available in the Braveheart Farms in Kidapawan City.

Having bred enough, I am now ready to share this breed of chicken, reputed to possess medicinal value and often served as “Black Chicken Soup” with those who would like to breed them.

A young trio of the Chinese Silkie is sold for P3,000 if the fowls are picked up in the farm. Those from out of town will have to pay additional cost for the shipping box and the freight cost.

A breeding trio is composed of a cockerel and two pullets. They will be ready for breeding in two months.
