Silkies are abit... Ehm. Simple. They lay eggs for few week, and then start sitting even in an empty nest hoping to be mommas. They are sweet and kind and everything. But can't fly for their life, and are clumsier than other breeds with normal feathers. I am definitely loving bantam kochins. They are just as motherly and sweet as silkies, but smarter. Yet I would never change any of these away. A silkie or two in flock gives you some colour and extra laughs.
