Hi everyone! I am new here! And new to chickens I am excited to learn a lot! After doing research, I am hoping to add a few Silkies to my family! - Renee

I suggest you also check out the "Silkie thread," to learn more about the breed.

Do you already have other chickens? Or maybe ducks...that's a cute avatar photo.

Thanks for joining us!

Welcome to BYC

I have had chickens, ducks, and geese (picture is of a Canadian goose), but only as babies - I just relocated to CO from CT where I incubated eggs for friends and raised the little guys until they were old enough to go to their farms. Where I lived in CT did not allow me to keep my own flock, so now that I live in CO, I can't wait to have my own!
