Hello there and welcome to BYC!

I have never heard of them, but good luck finding them! Welcome to our flock!

If they have true silkie feathers I would think they would be unable to fly, and probably would take on so much water they would sink like a stone. Do you have any pictures of them?

thank you, did not know there was a duck section, but it makes sense. this place is so huge it's bewildering!
