There's A New Girl In Town and Yes She Is Gorgeous!

This is the newest member of the family. Her name is "Miss Molly". Per her request, she is looking for a friend. With this being said of course any candidate, must meet her high standards of elegance and know how to treat a chick (lady) right. We will be keeping our eyes open for any prospects. So remember we are looking for a stud muffin, I mean companion for our girl. I'll keep you posted."Miss Molly" is a white silkie, about four months old. She does not seem to mind being handled and seems to have a good nature. We are limiting handling her for now, until she has a few days to settle in. 

Gorgeous!!

Do these feathers make me look fat?

Strutting her stuff

Silkie chickens make good pets, they are gentle, like attention, are very soft and beautiful, make wonderful mothers. They lay a creamy brown color egg. Because of their downy feathers, they can't fly, which can be a good thing. If you have ever tried to catch a chicken you know what I mean. Silkies do not like cold weather and must be kept warm. We use heat lamps in our chicken coop during the winter months. I have had many people tell me their hens don't lay well in the winter. Do you like to do anything when you are froze? Warm happy chickens will continue to lay eggs even in the coldest months.
