Silkies are adorable! I dream of having several in my backyard one day. 🙂 Allen, with the news of a new and aggressive avian flu in China and Taiwan, do you think it will eventually threaten American chicken breeds? 🙁
i have video evidence of a white silkie going at it with a young game rooster twice three times his size and holding his own ….later he tricked the game rooster to fight him thru a fence …..game rooster lost
Your coop looks very clean. Do you attract mice as well? Is it best to keep Ferrell healthy cats around outside the coop to avoid those problems? Or will that stress the birds out more?
Nicely done…I love how informative you are into being an easy, first flock of chickens to own. Beautiful quiet birds. Please post more on further healthy care.

Are those feathered feet a drawback as far as keeping clean?

I’d say immediately! They’ll need space to get around in the sunlight, but make sure they have protection from harsh sun and vermin.
