Because JUST when you think about buying one...and are getting ready to fork over the dough in order to test out their fluffy capabilities...they bite you...I'm still mad..I got beat up by a silkie...
Laskaland- mine didn't get friendly until they started laying eggs. Before that they acted like I was getting ready to pluck all their feathers out. Dorks. Give it a little longer and see what happens if you really want to keep them.
lol i love my silkies but i cant believe how aggressive they are to my other chickens who are 3times bigger than them lol i think they're adorably vicious lol
Silkies are evil. My silkie roo thinks he is Napoleon. He attacks until you hand feed him, then he is all sweetness. Are we going to get rid of this nasty pint sized dictator; no, just because his girl is always (ALWAYS) broody, we're going to get him more girls.
Silkie mind control........must get more poofy-headed fluffy butts.
i think it must be the bloodline, my silkies including roo is extremely mellow w/kids. but w/other roos he is stealth, he sneaks up behind another roo and does "the ninja" and scares my polish roo half to death
