Silkie friend & Seramas.

[Chickem707]

So I’m getting a little companion for my silkie cross. She is also about 8 months old and only about 10cm tall, so very small. I was thinking of getting another silkie, but she would have to be small. I know the smallest breed is serama, but how friendly are they to other chickens? Also, are their any other breeds of tiny chicken? Thanks

Old English Game Bantams are also very small.

Bantams are the teacup versions of chickens. They are tiny and lay lil eggs.

Yep! I look after a few of my friends sometimes, looking to get my own just not sure what breed

I’ve seen a few of them around, are they typically friendly towards other chickens?

Have you seem D'Uccles?

 

[Cyprus]

Yes i have. They seem like they’d get their foot feathers quite mucky. I’ll definitely consider those though, thanks.

Actually, they keep them pretty clean

Interesting getting another take on the matter. My Rosecombs are quite docile.

It could be an individual thing
The two rosecombs I knew were not friendly

Could be....just like people.

Mine aren't extremely friendly, per se, but they treat other birds well.

I tell everyone who will listen how great Seramas are! I got my hen at 2 yrs. of age, and she's friendly with all other chickens as well as people. SUPER sweet. I don't know if all Seramas are like this, but I've heard they are. Mine never gives me a moment's trouble, and she's as cute as you could ever ask for. She's a frizzle. So keep in mind that frizzles need more warmth, if you decide on a frizzle. No one told me that when I bought mine! I wish they had. I have to bring my frizzles inside when it's under 40 outside. But Seramas are clean, quiet, and mine lays an egg almost every day, even through winter.
