Silky bantams are small, friendly and clucky (meaning they sit on eggs to hatch them.) Smaller than other breeds of chickens, they are friendly and good with children. They will happily sit on and raise eggs that are not their own. Although, in some cases this can be more a hinderance than a help. The chickens are excellent mothers and both males and females are attractive and fluffy. The come in black and white, and are very cute pets for not only farmers, but suburban families.
