People just like them cause they’re cute and fluffy hahah even non chicken people love them! My friend is obsessed and they’re friendly I think though I’ve never had them. But people like them for the kids to hold and such too.I'm gonna ask a dumb question now. After seeing so many silkies advertised on FB, or ISO ads looking for silkies, what in the world are they good for. Not big enough to eat yet they still do, eggs can't be big enough to make a sandwich unless you use several. Are they just pets?
