As with all pure breeds, we recommend keeping White Silkies either on their own or with other pure breeds of a similar temperament. Silkies are bantam-sized and do best when housed with birds of similar size to avoid bullying. Good shelter, dry bedding, and secure night-time housing will keep them happy and healthy.
About White Silkies
Silkies have been beloved for centuries and are known for their unique fluffy plumage, black skin, gentle nature, and excellent mothering instincts. The White Silkie is the classic version of the breed: soft, snow-white feathers, dark expressive eyes, and a sweet, calm temperament that makes them ideal for handling. They lay a modest number of small cream-tinted eggs and are prized more for companionship and looks than for heavy production. Their steady, affectionate nature makes them brilliant birds for both children and first-time keepers.
Pros:
• Exceptionally friendly and calm
• Beautiful, fluffy white plumage
• Great for families and small gardens
Cons:
• Low egg production
• Feathers require keeping dry in wet weather
If you’re after a gentle, charming little character for your flock, the White Silkie is a lovely choice.
