yeah my buddy got a really ugly silkie from me when i had to make room for more silkies. he was a very nice roo and when my buddy put him with a silkie hen i gave him for his birthday the rooster actually hatched a clutch of 4 eggs while the hen went broody a day later and hatched a clutch of 6 eggs 4 days later. they both raised the chicks. silkies are the coolest. i am obsessed with them.
