At least you picked a fun little breed.

Okay, maybe I'm easy to make fun of...

They aren't stupid, at least...

Silkies, Silkies, ya not a fan. And now with the "satin" silkies even more not a fan. Another one of those best for women and children breeds.
I've had them and found they were almost too dumb for free ranging. Never were tight or fit in with the rest of the flock. Found the most interesting ways to try to kill themselves or injure themselves.
I wouldn't say they had it much worse then others dealing with predators and I never trimmed mine and they didn't go running around into walls or nothing but they just never seemed to bright.
I remember times when it would rain, like thunderstorm and they'd be standing out in it soaked and I'd have to go around rounding them up and putting them under shelter.

I'm a woman and I definitely prefer my chickens with feathers and not hair. lol My husband just mentioned today he is going to turn them out to free range soon. Hopefully they don't perish.

Caught this guy up today to keep him safe. I plan on putting him over a Buff pullet since he is split columbian and mahogany. He is nicer than the Red (his sire) but I will raise a few chicks off both males over the Buff.

What if they do?
Will it be a revolving door of replacements like some parents do with a kids goldfish?

No definitely not. We would not have taken them in if it weren't because of my brother's kids. Speaking of goldfish, we kicked our goldfish outside because I got sick of cleaning their tank. I kind of wished they would have died most of the time, but they kept on keeping on. Now they are in the redneck pond. lol I gave the 55 gallon aquarium they were in to a friend. Never again.

My sister had a googly eyed black goldfish my mom replace a half a dozen times.
It's name was Blacky Walmart.

When a fish died, we just flushed it.

I'm thinking about picking up some chicks Friday.
Gotta decide if I really want to and if so decide how many.

 

[The Moonshiner]

D@mn it. I really dropped the ball on that one.
I only pre-ordered a dozen.
