I'll tell you what I've learned about Silkies... You either love them or you hate them. Every once in a while you'll meet someone who may own one or two just as barnyard pets, but usually people are either fanatical about them, or loathe them.

However, if you can look past their appearance, you may find that they are a good choice for you. Here are some reasons why...

(A) Because of their docile nature, they are generally a good choice for backyard pets, and for kids to show.

(B) They are not flighty since they can't fly, and are rarely cause a problem by going over a neighbors fence.

(C) Because of their size, they make GREAT backyard birds for people who live in cities or suburban areas.

(D) They are GREAT mothers. Silkies are generally used by a lot of game breeders to hatch out gamebirds like quail, pheasant and others.

(E) They are a very interactive bird, and very animated. They get attached to their human owners rather quickly with regular handling.
