I love silkes but I love all chickens, the silkies are unique, they are soo laid back and the males usually get along, they are not as territorial as some breeds. I hatched a baby from my white OEGB girl, named Tofutti and my white silkie Georgie and I have the most loveable out going little boy, he is just fantastic.. Not sure what he will look like but I love him. Anyways, back to the subject, to each there own but a good silkie is as beautiful as it gets in my eyes.. I do not HaTe anything..
