No, she is not thin and very pretty! We have little Mille Fleur D'uccle very gentle and kind rooster and thought she will make him a company! But she seems not interested in any company at all! She just eating, drinking and standing in same spot FOR ALL DAY! I even put the towel for her...
I bought white silkie 6 month old pullet a week ago from eggbid.com.She seems fine - eating and drinking, but doesn't move much!Couple steps to the right, couple steps to the left, and that pretty much it. She can stand on one place all day long!
We live in the city and I wanted her as a pet...
