Buff Silkie Rooster Red Silkie Hen Buff Silkie Chicks Gray/Blue Silkie Hen White Silkie Rooster Silkies come in a variety of colors: White Silkies, Blue Silkies, Gray (Grey) Silkies, Buff Silkies, Black Silkies, and Red Silkies. Silkies are an ancient breed, dating at least from 13th century China. This chicken breed is hardy and is suited for both cold and hot climates, but may not do well in extremely stormy weather because of its plummage. Silkies are very docile and friendly and make wonderful birds for a backyard flock and are an excellent choice for children to raise. Silkies lay small eggs that are usually cream to very light brown in color. It takes roughly two to three Silkie eggs to equal one regular chicken egg. Silkies also have a bantam (miniature) counterpart. * Links to other Chicken Breeds on this blog: Ameraucana / Easter Egger Ancona Andalusian Araucana Australorp / Black Australorp Bantam (What exactly is a Bantam or Banty?)
