also, our other big girls are about 1 1/4 years old, so the silkies are slightly younger.

what sort of info?

they are broody and make great mothers
they make great pets and are one of the friendliest chicken breeds out there
they are great for kids because they are small and cute.
5/5, amazing breed

they are not good flyers, so less of am escape risk. Often they like to sleep in a pile, in a corner on the floor rather than roost.

I have noticed that too. why do you think that is?

I would love a Silkie, however, my RIR would be total PUNKS. I live in Brookfield, I have 2 RIR (1 died, could've been liver issue or heart attack, she never looked sick, just didn't come out of the coop one morning ) I added 2 SLW and then 2 more SLW, Stupid chicken math!!

We have a Zero chicken ordinance

I think silkies don't care to roost because their crests obscure their vision. So they just cuddle up in a corner - maybe they think safety in numbers.
