Welcome to the Backyard chickens community. Silkies are a very popular breed. You may want to check out the "Silkie thread," "nothing but Partridge Silkies,""Buff Silkies,"
" Paint silkies," and I believe the thread "Blue,Black & splash silkies."

Did you know there is also the "Showgirls thread," yet another variation of silkie.

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens?
I am still semi-new Id like to think. I have had chickens for about 2 years now. Had them growing up but got serious about it the past 2 years.

(2) How many chickens do you have right now?
I have 5 right now. Most I had was 7.

(3) What breeds do you have?
I have 3 silkies, (2 hens, one roo)
A cochin bantam roo
Blue english roo paired with old english black hen.
I am slowly becoming obsessed with silkies! <3

(4) How did you find out about BackYardChickens.com?
Everytime I google something "chicken related", this site popped up so thought might as well sign up I'm always on here anyways!

(5) What are some of your other hobbies?
I enjoy horseback riding, riding jetskis, going to the lake, Law&OrderSVU, going to local breweries, anything dog-friendly, trying new restaurants.

(6) Tell us about your family, your other pets, your occupation, or anything else you'd like to share.
I have been married for about 2.5 years. No human kids but a ton of pets! Yorkie, Labrador, 2 Pointers, a horse, a mini donkey and of course the 6 chickens.

Welcome to Backyard Chickens!

I am impressed that you only have 6 after two years.
