I haven't heard Bee say that here. She knows there are many people here that own them, and really enjoy them. I would say the same thing back to her. Silkies are not for everyone. But they are for some. They are no less valid than any other chicken, and have been around much longer than most breeds of poultry.

History traces them back to the 13th century. Can you say the same about your Sumatras? Though Silkies were much more like chickens than they are today. They had much better vision and looked very different. According to research, the Sumatra is classed as a low production in eggs, where silkies are classed as medium. Just a few comparisons for you. I do love the look of Sumatra as well. They'd be much easier to have in a free range environment. If someone does not free range, Silkies would be a good choice if that is the type of chicken that suites the person. They handle confinement better than any other breed I keep.


Oh and the picture thing I agree on. I think Bee had said not to quote it a few days ago. Everyone obliged. It does get very hard to read between the images.

IT WAS A JOKE! GEEZ! No need for personal attacks. I think a chill pill is in order

It was not said in a joking tone or with any joke implied.

Sarcasm maybe. Joke? I don't think so.

As far as what chickens I would take if we had some sort of zombie event?

I see a joke in your posts Delisha.

I think they already may be zombies in disguise.

Oh Oh!!!! I can see all kinds of uses for Silkies in a Zombie Apocalypse....but all the silkie owners would hate me

. They are cute and would make good diversions. Wonder if they could be trained to carry messages? Seriously, there's not much time between now and the 21rst....so here's to hoping I have fertile chickens and one good broodie

A joke, however I think silkies are adorable and who could harm someone who had a silkie?

See how clever the silkies are? How many times have we heard that they couldn't kill or eat a silkie. Yep.. Cute is a clever rouse to get out of being killed. Smart.

I'm totally cracking up over this. Honestly, though - I think Silkies are, in fact, aliens. I'm fine with that.

Guineas... Guineas are just zombie chickens!


Brr ...brr... brr... brr... brr... brr... brr... Brains!

Excuse me for butting in here. Just wanted to say that, in your reply field, you can edit what you have quoted. Remove images and just leave the words, for example. I just tested this in my unpaid member ID, that I use now and then, not to post, but for such as this. I highlight with shift + arrows, then hit delete.
