Silkies are more for show then anything else. These cuddly creatures are renown for their mothering skills. Further they are Docile and become super friendly. Wyandottes come in many different colours including some stunning laced varieties. They also lay a good number of eggs, laying up to eggs per year. These beauties are an excellent all round bird perfect for that someone who is just not sure what they want or those who want it all.
If you could imagine a feather fluff ball then you could imagine a pekin. Pekins are one of my favourites. They can be very friendly birds and are simply stunning to look at. Pekins come in many different colours from solid colours such as black and whites to stunning silver duck wing and partridge.
The pekin bantam is a great first bird for any family, they are loving and tend to stay in the confines of a yard fairly easily. It is thought that they originated in India, China or Japan and they arrived in Europe around years ago where they were sold as crosses between rabbits and chickens!
They are a lightweight chicken with a broad, stout looking body which is covered in fine fluffy feathers. They have short, rather ragged looking tails and the head is short and neat with an upright and full crest. The beak is short and broad, the face smooth and the eyes black and bright.
The comb is circular and described as a mulberry comb and the wattles are concave, semi circular and not particularly long. The legs are purplish blue in colour and they have a fifth toe. Silkies do tend towards broodiness and make wonderful mothers despite being rather poor layers. They are calm, friendly, trusting and rather lively birds which are unable to fly so can be kept with very low fencing and they also do very little damage to the garden.
They begin laying around Christmas when the hen will happily sit on a clutch of eggs and will still go broody even if her eggs are removed! Silkies are frequently used as foster mothers for other hen's eggs. They stop laying altogether during the summer months. They don't have waterproof feathers so they need to be kept in dry conditions but require little room so can be kept in smaller runs.
They are rather susceptible to scaly leg but are robust little chickens and can withstand the cold very well. Cute silkie hens for sale silkies.
