Ha,ha!!! Yeah, I did not think I would like them as much as I do.I used to not like chickens with large combs because it looked a bit freakish to me. LOL!
I got them to pick up the slack of the silkies ; or maybe I should say compensate for what the silkies lack. They lay more often, bigger...
I find that here are two breeds of chickens that people seem to really love or really don't care for and those are white leghorns and silkies. I happen to be in love with both! So welcome to the silkie club! They are so fluffy and adorable it would be a crime to only have one.;)
