Look What I Bought Yesterday!

Recommended Posts

lolalayla, I have heard of a couple of Scots who keep silkies but I really don't think they like the cold, wet and windy conditions we have for much of the winter :( I would love them but am not convinced they would like it much. Have to stick with hardy breeds for now.

I am really :( about that. YS saw the lovely Silkie photos and is convinced we should get some. However looking at today's weather the poor things would be in a terrible state.

I am sad too - I still fancy some but am thinking the same thing as my chickens live in quite an exposed location and there is no room in my WIR to put them with my more 'delicate' ones.

I wonder if anyone on the forum does keep Silkies in an exposed situation and can advise us? Although wet and windy here the climate is usually reasonably mild, although like most folks we did have some snow last year.
