hehe yip I found a breeder that has blue and birchen (not sure if that is correct but that is the colour he said) hens for sale my little roo is one lucky guyThey are the ' teddy bear ' of the chicken world. Before you know it you will be surrounded by them. You can't just stop at a few.
Bit like malteesas. ( chocolates ).
*GASPS* Oh my gosh shes GORGEOUS!!!! Okay, I am deffinatley breeding my White silkie with a Red or Buff roo!Thankyou, this is her now.
Wow!!! I gotta get some silkies!!! I love them!!! The fox Got mine
yes you do need to!! 
Silkies really are the best of chickens ^^( shhhhh dont tell the other breeds!) I reccomend Red or Buff, they are beautiful, and opposed to white, they llook less dirty when they really are dirty, and unlike black and blue, their dark feathers wont absorb heat as much. I have a Buff Roo at the moment, he is a little scraggly due to an early aged molt, but he is going to be my breeding Roo if my dad can get used to the fact.Wow!!! I gotta get some silkies!!! I love them!!! The fox Got mine
They have straight combs so not ideal for breeding. An observation of mine is that the blue lobes fade to white with age, just a guess but 4-5 years, that's just comparing them to mine.
Yeah, walnut combs deffinatley arent the prettiest, but they are unique!!After seeing these I am tempted to breed some crosses just to get the single comb on a silkie. I definitely like the look better than the walnut comb!
