Silkie chickens are a domesticated breed. Therefore, their habitat is a back yard in a chicken coop.
That is the environment that suits them best!
No, not all chickens are yellow, these Chinese "Silky" Chickens are black skinned. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silkie
Silkie chickens are extremely calm. When you raise a silkie chicken from when young it helps. My sister got a silkie chicken from a chicken breeder online. At first the silkie would screech every time you would pick her up, but my sizer held her every day for about a week; now all I can say that chicken is the most tame and calm chicken we have... She even won 1st place in showing at the fair.
I have Silkie Chickens who are very broody, they are little bantam chickens that look like little cotton balls.
YES!! Certain breeds of hens do have what looks like an afro hair do. Silkie's and polish hens have tufts of "hair" instead of a comb on the top of their heads. See "related links" below for a picture of a silkie hen
There's a Korean breed who has blue skin and meat.
Most Silkie hens and roosters are identical and sometimes the rooster Silkie doesn't crow through out his whole life. The only way you can tell them apart if the Silkie is mating with hens and has a spur then of course it is a rooster. And if a Silkie laid eggs or is sitting on eggs then she is a hen. Another way to tell them apart is if you have a hybrid Silkie that Silkie might get a big wattle and comb.
Where, for example? Do you have any website or address where can I buy some eggs?
There are a small number of breeds of chickens with feathers on their legs. Some of these are the Cochin, Brahma, Sultan, and American Silkie.
Yes, any breed of chicken can live with any other breed. They may peck each other, but this is normal for any chickens, they are establishing a pecking order. If you observe your hens closley, you can usually see who is head hen.
Domestic chickens have no natural habitat. However, the best place to keep them is a grassy area with patches of dirt, a few large rocks, a few trees and maybe a bush or two. Make sure this is protected from cats, foxes and other animals that may harm them.
ALL breeds of chickens have the same incubation period. 21-28 days are how long mine usually take.
i have been told that the silkie crossed with a frizzle is a new breed of chicken called a sizzle.I myself am breeding for these birds as of this year...
