I love the Non bearded. I had one it was the coolest silkie I have ever had...One of the best Mommas. It would sit on anything no matter how old it was. And could take up to 12 chicks and do better then any other bird would (sigh) I miss her.

I managed to hatch out my first Midget silkie hen almost 6 months ago. She is half the size of her sibblings. Well I hope its a hen
.... I already had a midget buff rooster for 3 years now.
I lost one of my buff hens a week ago. she was 5 years old when she passed. Thats pretty good. I have one thats 7 years old and thats fat and puggie as ever.
we just got a silkie chick, it's blue. It's from a feed store who ordered them from Ideal, we suspect it's not too well bred as it has wing feathers that are not very silkie, but the rest of it is fluffy and cute... wondering if it's a mutt? time will only tell. It is mellow and sweet though!
