Silkies are probably the easiest to handle, but aren't the best free ranging types- require predator secure coops. The same thing works to the advantage of a kid- the bird doesn't run because it doesn't see them coming (although most don't seem to care too much either way. Very docile birds... in fact, I'm spoiled with the docility of my breeds of choice. So laid back.

I dont have much experience with Silkies. But the one silkie hen that I have is completely oposite of what you describe. She is an awsome forager, is constantly watching for the Eagle, osprey, hawk, ect... Does not like to be anywhere near a person, and gods forbid you try to pick her up!

See this little smiley? Well that would be here! She is the crabbiest little fuzz ball I have EVER met. lol Now she might just be a freak, as alot of my critters tend to be. But I have the exact oposite of what you discribed. lol

Really you must have the freak, all the Silkies we have ever had have been kid friendly, but I have to say they all have been good foragers and smart... I'll never be with out one.. Our first one was white and my mom named her LULU the french dancer..

cross your fingers for luck for me. I posted my first egg auctions. two two day auctions, one for BLRW and one for lav and lav split ameraucanas. so far they are doing ok.
I have like three million pounds of bubble wrap for them. I hope they do well.

I took a look after work today, and there is a pot of VERY DEAD begonias below the bell (like brown mush hanging over the edge of the pot). I am going to buy some flowers after work tomorrow to put in the pot so it does not look so pathetic in the photo. I will have something posted before the weekend, and hopefully by tomorrow evening. I will also pull the Christmas Wreath off the door. It has been cold and damp enough that the thing still looks fresh! (I did get my tree down before January was up

)

I guess I should have read down a bit further too. LOL. At least you and I are on the "same page".

I think she meant she only "finished" one. The other 3 are in around the house, coops and stable and range from 3/4 empty to just a mouthfull.
