    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    Thank you very much! I try to keep them the best possible quality in regards to the UK standard as I show them. 😁 Bird in the first picture won 1st in class, best bantam silkie, best silkie, best soft feather light and went on to win Supreme Champion against over 800 other birds. Bird in the...

    Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

    I show them so I train them at a young age. Most of it is luck though to be honest. If the bird isnt in the right mood on the day it's not going to stay still! 😂

    Chicken Breed Focus - Silkie

    Hello, I am a silkie breeder based in England. I breed silkies for shows and for fun. I first got Silkies because I was after a new breed of chicken to breed. I have showed and exhibited Marans and Pekins in the past as well. My favourite characteristic about Silkies are their funny...

    My silkies are whats called non-bearded and yours are bearded. Here are the three different varieties of silkie. You also have showgirl silkies but they aren't pure Silkies because they have to be bred to other breeds of chicken to get the naked neck. Perhaps in the future they will be classed...

    Well I took charge of her in 2009 and she wasn't laying eggs then. My family friend got her off of his dad in 2000 and she never laid eggs for him. So it must have been when she was with his dad who was the person who bought her in 1980. I would probably say that the last egg was around the...

    Oh no. It is always sad when you loose them. 21 is an exceptional age for a dog! Well done for taking care of him! Thank you, to be honest she is already probably the oldest living goose, just not the oldest goose ever. As long as she stays happy and healthy I don't mind if she has the title...

    Hopefully, fingers crossed she has many more years left in her! Her partner actually passed away in May. He was the same age as her. They really relied on each other, but she seems to be managing without him. Was a little touch and go at the start, seem as they had been together for 40 years we...

    I'm sure she could but they would want to take a blood test most likely. I don't really want to put her under that stress. If they come to me that is fine but I don't want to have to take her to long distance places.

    A goose's lifespan is 10 - 24 years so she is doing very well. 🥳 Oldest goose ever recorded was a gander named George. He managed to get to the amazing age of 49 years and 8 months! Emma is 6 or 7 years off the record. Unfortunately, she can't ever be given the title because I have no proof to...
