how big are silkies? and are they only bantams? I want to get some too!

 

[Poulets De Cajun]

Silkies are one of the only "True" bantams, meaning they weren't bred down from larger sized birds.

 

[swedishfish]

so exactly how big do they get?

 

[Poulets De Cajun]

Thats hard to answer. Not very big, only a few pounds.

That is true ONLY in the United States. In the UK, however, there is a distinct bantam and Standard (Large Fowl) Silkie.
