Which breeds have the softest feathers?

[calee]

I've noticed that our Barred Rock has the softest feathers out of our three girls... I don't know if it's just her, or if it's a breed thing.

What do those of you with experience handling multiple breeds think?

My buff orpington and my Wyandotte have the softest feathers

My barred rock is pretty soft too, when I can get a hold of her

My buff orp is soft but my frizzles are the softest

Definitely silkies!!! All silkies are made up of is fluff.

I agree, my Wyandottes have some very soft fluff, and LOTS of it. It's almost a pain to have to pluck one because of all the down.

Silkies I think shouldn't count in this question, since all they have is fluff! They're more like petting your pet cat or rabbit.

Silkies and Orpingtons

My white cochins are SO soft. i love rubbing my face on them. That sounded wrong.

I say Cochins, Silkies, and Light BRahmas
