Silkies! NEED HELP!!

[Packie]

Hey guys, I'm new to BYC and have spent hours looking at loads of coops but I've never had Silkies before what I do have are four Leghorns.I live in Ireland and this place does get pretty cold and wet in the winter. I'm 16 years old and I breed and raise Pigeons I've just replaced old pigeon loft yesterday i'll try to get a few pics of them sometime and I'm also on the way to building a rabbitry. But I need some advice on Silkies *any advice on breeding Silkies the natural way *what kind of coop for breeding Silkies (pics would be great) *can I put other hens (what breed?)into the same coop as the Silkies? Thank you all very much and any replies would be greatly apriciated

Hello and welcome to BYC

The only thing I know about Silkies is that they're cute and I want one! LOL Have a look in the Breeds, Genetics, & Showing section. I saw some nice Silkie threads there.

Silkies would require the same things as any other breed when it comes to a coop, etc. Same as your leghorns.

Howdy,
