Silkies are so cute and floofy! 💚

they are!! I've had four total, my two originals were Martha and Nugget (named after being literally nugget shaped) and I could never figure out if Nugget was a rooster or a hen. didn't have a comb but also didn't have the head poof that female silkies have, never crowed and never laid eggs. I ended up just assuming he was one of those hens that either lost or didn't have a functional ovary so I he/him'd him haha. Martha was absolutely tiny and was the WORST broody. when people say silkies are notoriously broody it's an understatement. but she also had the best puffball on top of her head cx

I've only ever had white silkies, I would love to own some black ones some day :0 cherry had a black silkie brother named Mable but he didn't make it to adulthood unfortunately

I also *briefly* had a silkie hybrid rooster who was Cherry's son who i named Pants cause his half-fluffy feathers made it look like he was wearing pants all the time lol. He had to go once he discovered he could easily beat up his father and now he's in charge of his own flock of hens on a different property
