Where, for example? Do you have any website or address where can I buy some eggs?
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!
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.
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
The breed of chicken that looks like it has hair on its head is called the Silkie. Silkie chickens are known for their unique fluffy plumage and distinctive crest of feathers on their head, which gives them a hair-like appearance. They are also recognized for their calm temperament and friendly nature. Silkie chickens are often kept for their ornamental value and are popular in poultry shows.
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.
The breed you may be talking about are called SILKIES
Yes, silkie chickens have feathers on their feet. This feature, known as feathered feet, is a characteristic trait of the breed and is prized for its unique appearance. Feathered feet help protect the chickens' legs and feet in colder climates.
Yeah, mine does but since it's so delicate it gets pecked on a lot!:(I will agree with him if your chicken is delicate then you will have a lot of picking on and fighting so try to make all your chickens as delicate as possible.
