Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[MysteryChicken]

That is probably one of the fluffiest silkies I have ever seen. I love his coloring too.

I got him from a show quality silkie breeder in Ohio as hatching eggs. He hatched out blue, grew up looking porcelain, now he's looking more calico as he gets older. His name is Porcelain, cuz that's what we called him since he was a wee little chick.

I like that name.

Glad you do.

Porcelain is so fluffy, I need to trim the fluff above his eyes so he can see, & he's due for another trimming.

I'm wondering if Dr. Suess raised Silkies.

I think they arriginated in either Asia or China, and Marco Polo was the first to find them, and he called it a "furry chicken".

Also - yes, my white silkie is HATCHERY quality, no need to make fun of her.
