Questions?

I have been around chickens my whole life, and STILL have questions about them! If you have any chicken questions, please post a comment. I can't wait to start hearing from you!   -ava

Cute silkie hen!

Here is an adorable little buff colored silkie hen!

One of my favorite chicken breeds is called a Silkie. It's a bantam, which means it's naturally small, and they are extremely fluffy! Silkies originated in Japan and China. They are very sweet tempered, and great for children, although they go broody very easily. I have had five Silkies, four hens and a rooster, and absolutely LOVED them! Note my rooster, Broody Bonn-Bonn, in my picture. -ava
