She is beautiful!TY janiedoe!
Yep, that's so funny cuz Silkies are not the sharpest tack in the carton -- they're either timid, jump in mid-air for no reason, vocalize complaints nearly non-stop, go wandering off alone, or go broody at the drop of a dime every 3rd day!
But we've had the good luck to have our first intelligent fan-loving Black Silkie back in 2011. Currently we hit the jackpot again with a smart Blue Silkie chick. We ordered 3 DNA-sexed females in January this year. She's the littlest youngest chick of the 3. She was never timid from the day we brought her home and she was the first to run around the brooder and discovered the feed and waterer first, she was never timid about trying new treats, she was calm when DH taught her to step up into his palm, and handling her in the Judges' Hold is a dream. She's tiny but mighty!
