@ChooksNQuilts Welcome! I’m so jealous that you have a silkie and naked necks I’m obsessed with both! Have you seen showgirl chickens? I’ve been researching a bit on them as my next coop will be only for silkies and showgirls. Post lots of pictures for me, I’d love to gawk at your babies!

 

[CannedMonster]

Shoot! I didn’t mean to post that without the rest lol

Squee!!!!
Oh my gosh I’m so in love with your babies.

Oh hi PNW! I will post as many pics as I can lol.
Yes I have seen Showgirls and they are so neat!
I wasn’t sure about getting a Silkie because we do get snow here but other people don’t seem to have a problem so we’ll see.
I have fallen in love with little Peanut!
Unfortunately they are all terrified of me.
I really wanted to find a way to make a brooder that would allow me to reach for them from the side instead of down on them.
I won’t name the NN until we know which are females. I don’t want to get attached to them as the plan is to put any males in the freezer.
I love that you’re going to have a coop just for Silkies and showgirls! That’s so fun!
I have wanted bantam Cochins for a long time.
I do want to have a little flock of them.
Peanut is sort of a happy accident

Thank you. I love how the NN look like they’re wearing a toupee
The brown one fell asleep in the food.

I can’t get enough of them. They just make me hysterically laugh. I need a coop just for them as I don’t think you can have enough silkies. They don’t roost like other chickens, they just pile up and cuddle. My cousin lives in AK and has an indoor silkie thst she sends me photos of. I’ve fallen in love from afar.

Aww! Silly floofs.

I really like frizzles but they are less cold tolerant

My Silkies didn’t get the memo - most of them roosted. One night I went out to lock up and was surprised to see several of them roosting up with the standards. Before I knew it, most of them were up there. A couple of them used the low roost I’d put in, and couple of other holdouts snuggled down on the floor. They’d all go out and play in the snow.
