Their characteristic fluffy, down-like feathers are the reason they're called silkies: they're silly-soft to touch.
Silkies stand out from the chicken crowd in every way. It's my pleasure to introduce you to the cutest, cuddliest, kindest mama in the coop.

Give her an egg, or a golf ball, and she'll plonk her booty on it! If you're looking at smaller chooks, I'm guessing egg yield isn't at the top of your wish list anyway? Silkies are however the most maternal mini mamas imaginable. In the interest of being balanced (I'm not – see above - I'm team Silkie) this breed won't lay as many eggs as other chickens out there. Why? Because they are wonderfully unique in every way.
Even the questionable folk of the world who don't share our love of livestock can recognize a Silkie from any other chicken breed. Some people aren't that into chickens…I know. They're super-affectionate, easy to handle, low maintenance, and divine to look at. Silkies are the fluffiest, friendliest little bantam beauties on the block. They're just SO FLUFFY! Who doesn't want one of these loveable little ground clouds tottering around their feet seeking out snuggles and snacks?
