Our family has owned many silkie chickens. We love their cute little fuzzy feathers and the child friendliness. We personally love the buff silkies but have owned black, blue white and gray as well. We love their broodiness and will be using them to hatch eggs in the future. If you need a breed that is an awesome show bird, but doesn't lay much these are for you. Many people use their birds to hatch rare breeds. I love the vaulted breed. Add comments on your fave parts of this bird!
