I like my Silkies even though they are crazy, they aren't afraid to fight cats or people to keep their baby's safe. If you are looking for a breed of chicken to hatch baby chicks this is the breed. They will starve before getting off of their nest, I have had hens try to hatch walnuts they where so broody. If you are a first timer, or getting one for a child good choice in breed they are reliable layers and are small.
