Lol I've heard broody chickens are bad, but I'm kinda glad I have a chicken that will probably go broody. I dont have the desired amount of chickens right now, so instead of buying more... She can give me more lol. I just don't know how much longer until she is laying edible eggs. I know it will 1st least take 2 weeks because of transporting her to a new place yesterday. I just love your silkies hair!!!

Do these silkies ever grow??? My guy is still so tiny I've had two batches of chicks he's brooding with and 2nd batch is now double or triple his size. I have a batch of eggs incubating and I guess he will be hanging with them soon lol.

Question: are there normal size silkies and dwarf size silkies? Or are they all small? He's my only silkie since his buddy died and I'm not sure what to do with him

Silkies are a bantam breed. They mature/grow slow and stay tiny.

Can he hang with the big chickens when he gets older? I'm very much in love with this little guy or girl but he is the only bantam I have so I am hoping he can
