A few weeks ago, the girls and I brought home 7 Silkie chicks. A lady on craigslist was giving 7 away, so Deborah called immediately. :) Since they hatched on May 15th, they're almost 3 months old. Silkies are so soft; their top feathers feel like down feathers. Unlike most of the other chickens we've had, Silkies are very sociable and don't run away when we go to pet or pick them up. Not to mention they are the cutest chicks around! :)
I thought this was a cool picture. ;)
Just last Monday, (July 30th) the lady gave us one more Silkie chick...it's a rooster. He is the sweetest rooster I've ever met and he loves to be petted. This morning he was trying to crow.
These chickens are almost 5 months old.
This one's a rooster. Combined, we now have 13 chickens. :)
Do you have any animals or have you ever petted a Silkie chicken?
Have a great weekend!
