Redwing Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Miniature white bearded Silkies! They are teeny tiny and totally enchanting. I didnt go to buy Silkies but with these being such lovely quality it would have been rude not to buy them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffy chick Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 Oh my word I agree you can't be rude now I know what mine should look like if they were ever clean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 They are lovely - i think a little bow on a pigtail on the head would look nice (like yorkies) then you could see their eyes. what are they and what colour eggs do they lay?

Tweety Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 They are just gorgeous! I thought for a moment that you were joking about buying more chickens on the bad gateway thread - should have known better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicken bark Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 My attitude to different breeds of chicken is changing. I never really fancied Silkies until recently. I am v Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken shack Posted September 11, 2011 Share Posted September 11, 2011 They really are gorgeous. I bought an while they were on discount and it is empty waiting for some ex-battery girls to move in. I haven't recieved an email yet to say I can have some if they don't hurry and get back to me I will have to go out and buy some as I can't stand the wait.

sparkysmum Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MedusA Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Aaaaaaaaaaaw! How gorgeous are they? I love Silkies. My Muggle and Squib are always a big hit at our allotment fairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
