Silky plumage and unique features characterize this species of chicken as a show bird. One of the extremely unusual characteristics that sets this breed apart is the bark blue colour of its flesh and bones. Its earlobes also are blue, and unlike most chickens, who have four toes on each foot, the Silkie has five.

Quite the unusual breed, the Silkie is extremely docile and makes for an excellent pet and show bird. The hen lays about 3 eggs per week and is often used in the hatching of eggs from other breeds of chickens or birds.the-silkie-chicken
