Contact Us Sal and Bobbi Porto of Indigo Egg

Meet INDIGO, the first solid Blue girl Bobbi raised
from her Alan Stanford Red Breasted Blue, Gremly
and her Tom Carey Black, Raven. She has a twin
sister named Dory.

INDIGO EGG (owned by Sal & Bobbi Porto) came about in 2004 when my
friend, Kristy, and I started raising chickens together. Kristy is now busy with family,
but I'm still at it after all these years! My first Silkies were given to me in 2001,
which is when I decided to buy the kinds I always wanted. My first pursuit was to
feed them organically so we would be healthier. I showed my first bearded
Buff-laced Polish at the Florida State Fair in 2002 and won CH and Reserve CH in
the Continental class. After hatching those cute chicks I was hooked! Who knew
chickens could be so cool!!!
Araucana Bantams were my next persuit... the true kind that laid the sky blue eggs.
I ordered them from Alan and 3 White and one Blue Partridge Silkie came with 17
Araucanas of all colors. What fun I had with those!!
Then Alan Stanford shipped some of his flock of show quality Silkies down to
Florida to live with me and mine until he could find another flock tender. They were
absolutely gorgeous and I was happy to raise chicks from Alan's lines too. I had so
many of my own, I helped Alan find another person to take over his flock. I have
learned LOTS from Alan and his daughter, Alice and they still visit from time to time
and we go over every bird! George and I visited each other a few years ago and
just recently, Shorty came with Alan and we viewed chickens for 6 hours... The
normal amount of time!! Shorty said he would never criticise another judge. :)

We hope you love our chickens as much as we do. They are all our pets and all have names.
Along the way we have acquired our favorite lines of chickens.
I now only specialize in two breeds:
SILKIES!!!! White, Black, Blue, Splash, Lavender, Buff, Red & Partridge
Jersey Giants in Blue, Black & Splash
Araucana Bantams, Bearded Buff-laced Polish - Sorry to say "No more"
I have a couple pet fainting goats, Quarter Horse mares and English Cockers too... They are a scream
and help us mow. See cute videos on youtube... links at the top of my Ranch and Rapscallion pages.
PLEASE SEE OUR LINKS TO VIEW PICTURES OF OUR WONDERFUL CHICKENS!

(old) NEWS FLASH!!! We won CH Featherleg at the Gold Coast Classic and BB Black, RB White
and BV,RV White, Black, Blue, Splash, Buff and Partridge in Silkies.
One of my Giant boys I sold won Ch American. I'm happy!
My Araucana Bantams have won AOCCL (All Other Combed Clean Leg), BB (best of breed) and BV (best
of variety) many times.
The magnificent Jersey Giants have won Best in Show in youth & Champion American in every show they
went to in Florida this year.. Mostly ones I've sold!
Even though I show my Silkies straight from their breeding coops (nothing artificial done here!) They
continue to win very well. I've never gotten Champion featherleg (relatives of my birds have), but have had
Best of breed and best of varieties many times. I believe whole heartedly that a chicken must be allowed to
be a chicken and that we can't forget that this show business is supposed to be fun.... win or lose... we make
friends, laugh and cry together, share stories and help each other in times of need. God bless us all!
