Also looks to be a pure Silkie.

Yay!

How many people consider “silkies” to be chickens?

Walks like a chicken and talks like a chicken

They are probably more like living incubators, but they will lay a clutch too, so......

I actually owned Silkies once. They were the meanest rottonest little B’s. In the world. The rooster would attack me when I walked by the pen. Hitting the wire hard enough to cause brain damage.

The only thing good about them was some idiot paid me way more than they were worth when I got rid of them.

That brave little roo could smell the dux hate on you and decided to take a stand.

Mine are sweeties. They're seven months old and I haven't gotten a single egg though

I have 2 Silkie Roosters. One is a total complete idiot jerk that will bite the fire out of me and then love me for having a treat in the very same half second. The other one is the sweetest rooster that I've ever known

Fancy Nancy was just over 7 months when she started laying. She laid for about 2 weeks and went broody I was not expecting that! My hatchery Silkie started laying around 5 months and laid for a while before turning broody

I carried mine down to the hay pasture to take his picture. He only yelled at me when I got the camera out but was fine til then

Sad day here in the Palace.
Found my sweet Maizee duck dead. She was wedged between a critter carrier and the wall.
Not sure if she was stuck or if she just hid back there to die..but another duck had wedged herself on top of her and was nearly dead too. It was a horrible sight.
Anyway..call duck owners beware of tight spaces they like to investigate every nook and cranny.
Here was Maizee this past spring after she stole all the babies for herself.
