What's one fact about poultry that SHOCKED you?

[turkey girl 0964]

What colour eyes should silkies have? I have a chick with green-brown eyes
A hen and chick with hazel eyes
Hen and chick with VERY DARK brown eyes

Hmm, IDK I don't have silkies.

Most silkies I can remember had black eyes. Been 25-30 years I've seen one and my memory aint the best anymore.

My chicks and one of my hens is black from far away, close up you can see the real colour.
My other hen has very light brown eyes
