I just got a silkied pair and the hen especially is so tiny I can hardly believe she's real! They are also the friendliest, sweetest chickens I have ever owned. They actually seek out attention and if I give one too much attention the other gets upset! I was cuddling my rooster and the cage door was open, and the hen jumped out and made herself at home on my lap. The number of beautiful colors out there is astounding, and there are frizzles and booted as well as silkied and smooths! I my next will be a frizzle, I think. They are too cute!
