About Silkies
If you're looking for a great pet or to add some color and fluff to your yard, you're in the right place! first glance, it's clear what makes the Silkie so unique. Their fluffy plumage, which more resembles fur rather than feathers, feels almost like satin or silk, granting this breed the name "silkie". Silkie feathers lack barbicels, which means the individual strands of the feathers are left fluffy, similar to that of down feathers. With beards, crests, and feathered feet these guys are pure fluff from head to toe. Which leads into another interesting fact about silkies, is they have an extra toe on each foot, leaving them with total of ten toes (if you can find it under all that fluff)! This bantam breed is known for their calm disposition and low aggression tendencies. They truly are perfect lap chickens. Then hens also make excellent mothers, and have a high tendency to go broody.
Black Crested Polish Chickens
Even though this breed is known for their remarkable crest, they gained popularity in Europe for their egg production, laying around 180-200 eggs per year. They come in a variety of colors, though the white crested black being our favorite due to the striking contrast between the white crest and black body. We love to joke that our polish has more resemblance to an exotic bird rather than a chicken.
First generation Silkie Polish cross chicks are likely to have a body type resembling that of a polish, with smooth feathering, and large crest. They will likely have feathered feat, and dark skin, five toes, and black skin, as these are all dominant traits from silkies.
