This is a common tactic used by silkies to diversify their bloodlines.
You will have no choice but to get more eggs as the silkie's appearant
loneliness will take control of your emotions. Don't feel bad, it's out of
your control now.

sounds to me that Silkies are pure EVIL...I dont know.I dont have any....yet. You have got to love those cute fuzzy butts though.I have 10 RIR/Australorp chicks in the brooder now.Good luck on the one chick my friend....and try to resist from going over to the Dark Side....LOL!

I started out slowly with silkies. I bought three at TSC...then later on in the same day, we picked up 14 more at a hatchery...then I had one given to me, now I'm raising babies from my original ones! It will never stop!

Two of my silkie chicks have a duckling under their spell too! lol. The duckling is 3 times their size, but it still believes that it can cuddle under the silkies, so they typically just end up sitting on the ducklings back! They are so silly, but I want more!!! Mwahaha!

I never even considered that MY PRECIOUS might have sabotaged the hatch...No...we wouldn't have done that. We're a niiiiice chickie.

ETA: Pics are on the way...I have to tend to the other chickens first.

I suddenly feel so incredibly lucky for my soul never to have laid eyes on a live silkie. Only seen photos here on BYC, although sometimes I've felt a little strange afterward, like aliens have abducted my brain and are coming back for my heart...

Best of luck to you, but it sounds like you've lost. Brain, senses, marbles, everything.

First you see pictures of them, then you read a story or two, then you watch a video clip or two or three, then bam! You are hooked, you have to have your very own PRECIOUS! You will think of nothing else until you actually have one in your home, and then the little evil thing will subconciously convince you that it is lonely and needs a playmate. And it just snowballs from there. Once hooked there is no escape, no hope, you are totally lost, they are manipulators and mind control experts.

It's all true....It's all true......

You look at them, they look at you, they cast a spell on you.....you go from oh maybe 2 for the kids to 4, (and the children still fight over them) then you realize they come in all different colors and varieties and then you HAVE to have one or 2 of every one. They will convince you to build a castle just for them, with a draw bridge and mote (mote isn't finished yet). They will make you forget all about any other kind of chicken, or the coop and run you were suppose to build for them. They will make you stray from your original plans in life, it will all now only involve them and them only. I will fight it.....I must....be.....strong.....

Nope I'm weak.
