Silkie thread!

[Butterflygirl50]

Shredded cheese works on them better than anything else I've tried. Just don't give very much or very often. It is salty and they shouldn't have much.

If I need to catch one quickly with no fuss, I toss a bit of cheese down at my feet and wait for the victim to get close enough to pick up. Less stressful than the fish net. They know what the net is and run if they see it.

Thank you!

I absolutely love silkies, even though we don't have any I saw one at the feed store we go to for 20$ but it was a black rooster. We cant have silkies let alone roosters How we'll do they behave around people?

I have had hens that are I even shades of blue, but maybe it could be black with leakage?

It's mostly her flight feathers and her silkie parts that are lighter shade. Here's another photo.

Mine are quite friendly. Some a bit too much as they follow me all over and get underfoot.

Aw, we have some chickens that will climb on our laps trying to get hugs, even when it's hot

My worst stalker

And now in my face along with the non-broodies in this pen.

My boys are very friendly as well, at least to people
