oh no. Didn't want to replace, we are just unlucky getting roos.... Our first 6 chicks were silkies, one hen I still have, but 3 roos in that batch so I sold pairs and then the last roo was killed by a hawk recentlyI knew the current one was an oops. I got the mistaken impression you were going to try to replace him, that's all. If you aren't concerned about egg production, and are looking for kid-friendly choices, then Cochins, silkies and Faverolles hens would be good choices. My kids have pet silkies, LF Cochins and have made pets out of some of my Faverolles breeders. They also have a social Buttercup, buff Minorca and brown Leghorn that don't mind being carried around.
