Silkies:
The funkiest hairdos you'll ever see. This is the chook that goes broody the most often, making an excellent foster Mum for chicks of less clucky breeds. They're the sweet little teddy bear that you'll want to squeeze like crazy.... yes, its the Silkie! We are currently trying to broaden our range of colours and have red, white and black Silkie mixes in the incubator. Due to hatch around the 5th of September.
