Good morning, welcome to BYC!

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

I raise and breed show-quality silkies here in Wisconsin. I have my own page here, which anyone can do, that shows the vast majority of them.

Silkies are known for their beauty and sweet personalities. I've had a few that were quite beautiful, but their personalities were nothing of the sort. This breed is prone to vitamin deficiencies, but with good feed, minimal treats, and great care, we have avoided problems. I love to help anyone start raising silkies, just ask away or send me a DM (direct message).

We're glad you're here!
