My Silkies


Showing poultry has been a huge part of my hobby list and is one of my favorite things to do. I have been showing my chickens ever since I was little. when I was 8 I won my first best of show with a little black silkie chicken, even though I was small and didn't know much about showing i still won and I felt so great getting that big ribbon from the judge. This led me to my interest of breeding and raising my own silkies for showing. So when I turned 14 my dad gave me a choice about my birthday gift, ether a pair of UGG boots or a incubator to hatch the silkie eggs, and i chose the incubator. So ever since then I have had a great interest in the silkie breed and love to share information about the breed. I have a small 4-H club dedicated to all sorts of poultry, they will soon be learning how to show their own birds. I love my silkies and will sill keep them as a hobby forever.
