Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

Silkys are not dumber then rocks!

The Silkie Poem
Silkies are not dumber then rocks
They do not look like mops
They are not hard to maintain
but, they are scared of rain.
If is wasn't for their hairness
Then they would have more awareness.
Mine lay eggs, that are bigger then their heads

That's a cute and merry poem about silkies

WHY WOULD ANYONE THINK THEY ARE THAT DUMB!

WHY WOULD ANYONE THINK THEY ARE THAT DUMB!

That's a good question.
I don't think they are dumb at all.
Some with extra big crests may have difficulties realizing everything going on around them, but that are external circumstances and hasn't to do anything with intelligence

I love it! But mine aren't scared of the rain. They get all wet and in winter I have to dry them so they don't freeze. I made a double haiku about it:

The One Misery of a Silkie Keeper
Silkie feathers aren't
waterproof, but they don't know.
Wet silkies in rain.

Wet, cold, and gross, you
catch them, dry with hair dryer.
Winter eve' wasted.

So, my third batch (second from this breeder) of silkie eggs arrived today and I am just under the wire for the Easter HAL.
Layla just started laying this week, so I placed one of her eggs with the shipped as a "control". Air cells are loose, but otherwise look good. Crossing my fingers some of these hatch! I was shipped a dozen paint by mistake, so the breeder is sending me some of the lavender for free.
She has been very easy to communicate with and I do not place any of the poor hatch rate from the previous hatch at her door.

Awesome! Fingers crossed
That's great your breeder is such a reliable person!
Do you have a second incubator for when the lavenders arrive?
