I said just air because Silkies are dumb as rocks.

It's probably because their brain is in close contact with air. One could even say they're air headed

They look so stupid.

Make sure you protect the vaulted one. One tap to the vaulted area can kill them since the brain is literally right under the skin there.

2/4 look like they're vaulted. I wonder how many of them will be

I don't think so haha. Just different anatomy.

Here is an interesting opinion on the subject:
I always have found show Silkies to be particularly dumb
The hatchery ones just seem like a funny chicken

4 hatched so far! Man these things are funny looking

Aren't they?

I believe it's vaulted.

That one has gotta be vaulted. Gonna be a looker when it's poofy and not babybrained

It will likely always be baby brained lol.

What all can it store in that vault?

Just air

No, they're very smart. Just ask David. Such an intellectual chicken. So glad he passed his intelligence on to his children

They look so stupid.

Yeah. My buff polish I had last year got pecked in the wrong spot. Practically comatose for a few days and she was always a bit off after that

I dunno, I make fun of David's children, but cheese and one of the pullets from the first batch are vaulted and they're not too dumb. Cheese is pretty smart actually
