A friend gave me 3 Silkies today, I think he brought 2 roosters and a hen, but I'm not sure! Here are a couple of pictures. I will try to get some better ones later! They haven't been handled at all, so not super friendly, yet! I don't know how this is going to work...I'm thinking they will always be too small to be a part of the main flock, but I don't know where else to place them right now! Am I correct in my thinking...Thanks!
First Day!

They're pretty Rene! I've never had Silkies so no experience with them. But a hatchery did send me a free Polish along with my dual purpose chicks one time and those DP girls did not like the "odd" looking Polish guy at all. Guess you'll have to see how they do together.

So, I let him set one in there and of course, the chickens came over and immediately pecked it, which is what I knew would happen...then Elmer says, yeah that rooster is pretty big. So, they finally saw that it takes a bit to introduce them to each other! I hope it works out with them, if not, I might have to rehome them, because I don't think my husband wants to build a coop just for Silkies...lol! Although, we do have our tiny little Banty coop over in the pig pen...we might be able to move it for them, but I'm hoping we won't have to!
