What sweet birds! I just got my second silkie, and I am loving her! Such sass and silliness in one bird, it’s straight out of a doctor suess book! I highly recommend them, it’s so fun to have one in your yard. They really make great pets! I highly recommend giving them lengthy aristocratic names, it seems quite important due to their looks and personality. Mine, for example, is named Mona Lisa le poulet de Egglantine (an eglantine is a type of rose). Seriously, there is so much fun to be had with these fuzz muffins.
