Can anybody suggest a use for surplus silkie cockerels? They have black skin under their white feathers and little or no meat. Does anyone consider them a delicacy?

Sell then to a local Chinese restaurant.
Chinese consider them a delicacy and make "black chicken soup" out of them
Their meat is as black as their skin! It's so weird eating them! I had one in the past

Thanks both. I haven't eaten meat or fowl or fish for almost 50'years so I won't take the 'stock option'.

But I may well talk to my local Chinese restaurant
