Silkies
Silkie chickens are a breed of chicken renowned for their distinctive fluffy plumage, which resembles silk. Originating in Asia, their exact history is debated, with some believing they were first brought to Europe by Marco Polo. What sets Silkies apart is their unique feather structure, lacking the barbules that hold normal feathers together, resulting in a soft, downy appearance. They are also characterized by black skin and bones, blue earlobes, and a walnut-shaped comb.
These gentle and docile birds are popular as pets and show birds due to their calm temperament
