Silkies are GREAT little bantams! One of our favorite for "brooding" everyone elses eggs and "mothering" everyone elses babies. :o)~ (no need to ever purchase an incubator) Very docile too... Watch them for a while with your hens however. Some hens can get "nasty mean" to babies, especially so tiny as these bantams are. :o) Great Video!!
@kastnmagic Thanks for the advice. They'll be inside for a while and only be around the other hens during supervised free-ranging time. Hopefully all goes well, I had to re-home a terrible hen a couple weeks ago after months of picking on the other 5 girls. My cochins are pretty sweet, but the Speckled Sussex get rowdy. *crossed fingers*
Stupid question, and it could possibly be answered if i were to go to the links, but i don't have time at the moment.
Do you harvest the eggs or use them for a food source? Just wondering, I have a friend who raises chickens so that they have organic chicken/eggs and other stuff.
thanks for the upload
