I have a silkie chick coming from a hatchery. I am very, very tempted to get a Polish from a breeder. I am trying to not let chicken math get the best of me. I am going to have a small flock of Bantam birds (unless I get the Polish -that would be the only LF.) For those of you with experience with both, which would you chose? I am sure that I could find a home for the silkie chick if I decided to get a Polish instead (As long as it was BEFORE I spent to much time with the silkie - or it would never leave) But as far as all of the factors that make a good backyard chicken - eggs, personality, amusement factor, health, and any other factor that you determine. Which would be the better choice. This will be primarily an egg laying pet. No showing. I live in the rainy, but not too cold Pacific Northwest.
Thanks,
