I love my silkies, but from my experience unless you buy a chicken that has been hugged since they were little they will not want to be hugged. They have hatched chicks for me and they’ve been incredible mothers. If you don’t want to hatch chicks, and don’t want broody chickens, I’d probably try and avoid this breed as they get broody more often. If your okay with that then these cute, fluffy, beautiful things, are great for children, or people who want a ”calm” breed of chicken.
