Our silkie hens are amazing. They are so gentle, you can easily pick them up and hold them, even when they are on their babies or eggs. They are super great moms, and raise all the other chick breeds in the yard too. Love them. Although, strangely, one silkie roo was very mean and would run across the 1/2 acre yard to jump on my daughter's back (he ended up in the soup pot).
