Ok I hope this doesn't offend any one at all, but we don't have true large fowl silkies over here in the US. When silkies were brought from over seas, the bantams and large fowl varieties were bred together so much that now only the bantam version is recognized (to my knowledge) here. We may have some LARGER silkies, but they are not recognized as large fowl. I breed silkies and am a member of a few silkie groups, we just had a discussion about this a couple weeks agoMy LF silkys haven't started laying,been so cold lately
