Hi, i'm a new member today to BYC. We have 11 hens and 2 Cockrels, 4 of which are white Silkies the rest are a mixture. Two were ex battery rescues and the rest we rescued just before christmas from a shed they were kept in day and night. We are due to hatch some Silkies this Sunday so its quite an exciting yet a bit nerve wracking time.
