Probably the prettiest chickens I've ever seen! We got them from a neighbor as adults so we didn't get to take them much, but they adapted well and quickly got to the point of handfeeding. They are great layers and a breed I would love to get again someday!

If you use these, you can replace the plastic with a glass jar of you want, but glass jars are heard to clean and algee grows on glass.

With chicks only a couple days old, especially bantams, I put marbles in their water to prevent drowning.

Great bird for fair showmanship because they are small and easy to handle. They don't need to be worked with much either.

Rooster is forever working against me. No matter how much or well I work with him he still gets in spurts where he will attack me. But apparently this is normal for OEGB roosters, it is in their blood to "protect" the hens.

I bought mine at a store as "Americanas". I later found out that they were Easter Eggers, but I have no inclination to get rid of them for not being a recognized breed. They are friendly and make me laugh a lot. The eggs I get are different shades of green and blue, more beautiful than the sky. I love my EEs, everybody should have some.

They are good layers but not good pets. Very flighty and shy. Mine wouldn't stop picking on each other. They had a very strict pecking order and sometimes killed each other because of it.

One of my favorite breeds! They are beautiful and friendly, and some of the best layers I've ever owned. They are common enough that you can find them at almost all stores that sell chicks. Everybody should have Rhode Island Reds.

They're in my top three favorite breeds. Very friendly even if you don't work with them much. They are very beautiful, and the rooster's plumage is very dazzling.

You can sex this breed as day old chicks by just looking at their down color and feet, which is rather uncommon but very useful.

The are a very good beginner's breed, but even advanced chicken keepers sometimes keep a couple. I always like to have at least one Barred Rock in my flock.

I highly recommend this breed to both beginner and advanced chicken keepers who are looking for good layers or friendly pet chickens.

I love my silkies, they are in my top three favorite breeds. Mine are actually very good layers so far, each of my three pullets average about 5 eggs a week, and they are very new layers too! They started in the middle of winter 2019, so I don't know how they do in spring and summer yet.

Mine are very mellow and go-with-the-flow, even though I haven't worked with them much at all.

My silkie roosters give the alarms all the time, even for little songbirds that fly overhead. I have only heard my game bantam rooster give the alarm a couple of times, while my silkies give it several times per hour.

I got silkies to raise chicks for me, though they haven't done it yet because I haven't let them. No broodies yet, but hopefully there will be soon!

I think everybody should get silkies, they are a great breed!
