Title says it all.. I was thinking about ordering some Silkes along with more hens soon (more chickens, right?) Anyway, should I know anything specific about their personalities, care to keep their feathers nice, egg laying, etc.? Thank you in advance! (:
See, I'm having the same issue. I have the same amount and my hens just eat and run down everything I plant in the run! I haven't found a permanent solution for it yet but when I cut the grass I spread it out in there so they have grass until next time. Good luck with your flock!

Hello and ! The best birds for a really hot climate will be the Leghorn types with smaller bodies, less-fluffy feathering, and larger combs. Good luck (:
