We only have 2 Silkies but I am in love with the breed. This is our peeps at about 7 weeks old
Sheesh, I didn't even want chickens to begin with! At all! My husband wanted them and I was very reluctant. When we went to pick out his chickens he wanted 2 barred rocks. I wanted a polish. He refused to let me get my "pretty chickens" so I got a duck instead. Then I learned ducks need friends so I got a second duck. All was well in my backyard until I wanted more ducks. I got 3 more ducks and one more chicken. An easter egger. Those ducks were the most unfriendly, skiddish, messy, disgusting, things. As much as I didn't want chickens in the beginning I started liking them more and more than the ducks. I loved my first two ducks though. They were fun and friendly. Anyway, I started resenting the 3 other ducks and decided to rehome AZ ll 5 of them together and just have chickens. Long story short j now have zero ducks and 11 chickens! 6 of them are 2 weeks old and unsexed. So any males will be rehomed and replaced in spring. Oh, I forgot to mention, I got my "pretty chickens" 2 silkies and a polish.and the husband pays no attention to his barred rocks anymore. They're my girls now.
Isn't that a turken/silkie?
She doesn't look the best right now, but she sure blends in to the fallen leaves pretty well.
