The people at the feed store are very friendly and would notify me if a new adolescent silkie came in the thing is I have added chickens to my flock that I have not hand raised myself and they changed the dynamic of my flock and it was not a good way. I plan to keep my Silkie flock mostly separate from my layer flock. I have 5 Ladies that are 5 years old. We purchased tsc pullets for our granddaughter I am sure I did not put in enough time with the younger pullets coupled with the fact that they are leghorns They are a panicky bunch and I don't really like them. I will keep them because my granddaughter loves they fact that she has her own ladies. She is so cute out in the coop when we collect eggs she always says "Thank you ladies for all your hard work!" She knows the brown eggs are from my Ladies and the White ones are from her ladies.
oops off on tangent any way I am not sure I want to take in more chickens that someone else had no use for. I am not sure if Silkies will develop skittish personalities or if they will usually be calm and friendly.
I do know that leghorns were not on my list of chickens i wanted to have in my flock.
