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.
