Silkie

Super Admin
Updated
Pros: Good temperament
Fluffy
Easy to handle
Good with cold and heat
Cons: Tend to go broody
Bearded Silkies can tend to have eye issues if you don’t take care of crest fluff
Tend to be bullied by other chickens that may be bigger
I currently have 3 silkies, and plan on getting 5 more in September:) I have had them before and I have always loved the look and personality of them. They are very nice and easygoing, but they can be bullied by others since they are smaller. They do mature a little slower than other chickens as well and don’t lay as much as other breeds. Also the pullets/hens tend to go broody a lot. All the roosters I have that are silkies are my sweetest ones.:)
