So funny! It’s already trying to heard the other chicks & sit on them!

Nvm... just looked up the breed & found out about the feet! Never thought to check silkies, as our Tractor does not have them listed as a breed they are selling. Lol Thanks for the help! Excited to have a new breed in our flock of mire traditional birds!

They gave her to us because she had a limp. Fine now. Are her/his feet deformed? I’ve never seen so many toes!

Just checking in& wanting to introduce myself.I'm a mom to three teen to twenties boys. Completely new to raising chickens. I'm just in the process of planning a coop build. I really love all animals & want to be connected to my food. I'm very scared for our population. There are so many...
