My impression so far with silkies is that they are absolutely adorable. But, I am gonna say it, their situational awareness is questionable at best and I don’t think it’s all due to their head poofs. They can snag a larvae thrown in their general direction in half a millisecond. All that to say I am unsure it will change with the Silkies but I am fine with it, I like chicken sitting and I am happy to have them in my flock.

In fact, I am getting some more. I reordered from Meyers as they finally had some availability again. 3 Cuckoo Silkies and 3 Bantam Calico Cochin Pullets. This time I am making the drive. Pray for me I have to go in their retail store 😱 this can’t be safe at all. 🤣 Juniper looking like she agrees this could be dangerous.

This will leave me with great foundation group of 6 SFH’s once I finally find a home for Fennel and 8 little Bantams. Assuming, I make it out of Meyers with only what I ordered. Caper and Parsley judging my decision to get more mini chickens.

They have… a. Retail store??!!!!

Ok I’ll meet you there! For moral support of course.
 
Put some dirt on the pool, and then make it into mud, throw some scratch on top and watch them go silly 😊

Then you can add a bit more water until it’s a couple inches deep. They can have fun digging and splashing.

March 2025 - yes that is still snow 😁

They love digging in the muddy water and of course drinking the wild water.
