About Gold Silkies

Gold Silkies share all the classic Silkie traits — soft fluffy feathers, dark skin, and an exceptionally sweet temperament — but with the added beauty of rich golden plumage that feels as soft and as stroking a cat. They are affectionate birds that enjoy human company and are brilliant with children as their wings arent large and flappy. Like all Silkies, they lay a modest number of small cream eggs and are valued mainly for their temperament and appearance.

Pros:
• Gentle, affectionate temperament
• Stunning golden plumage
• Ideal for families and first-time keepers

Cons:
• Low egg production
• Feathers need to be kept dry in wet weather

If you want a friendly, eye-catching little character for your flock, the Gold Silkie is a wonderful choice.
