Silkie chickens are great little featherbabies! They are very good at sitting on fertile eggs and hatching them, and are very good mothers, too! But if you don't give them fertile eggs to sit on and hatch, they occasionally decide to try to hatch the random abandoned golf ball, or even thin air. Banty Cochins are like this, too, but not QUITE as broody (that means wanting to hatch eggs everytime they see eggs) as the Silkie is.
However, if you're paying $25 apiece for one, just as a pet, you're paying WAY, WAY too much for her/him! The average Silkie hen runs about $16-18, and the average Silkie roo runs about $10!
I've seen it live, LOL! I'll have a scratch when working in the garden, and one will come along and help themselves! ? I'm like, okay, whatever. I wasn't going to recycle it, anyway, you might as well get some use out of it! ???

Still looks funny though!
