hallo friend steemit all, greetings i biat you all today, hope you guys are fine and healthy always.
at this time I want to introduce the chicken that has silky soft fur, the Silkie Chicken is known as a friendly chicken, sweet, meek, and often used as pets.
have you ever heard or seen a friend of steemit?
They have a different physical appearance than other chickens, which are thick and smooth feathers.
That is why they are called silkie, because the feathers are said as silky and satin. Their fur is not waterproof. Therefore, this chicken is well kept in dry areas. This chicken has several differences from other chickens, namely the skin and bones are black, blue ears, and 5 toes (ordinary chicken has 4 toes).
Some researchers say, silkie chicken originated from Southeast Asian countries, because there is information about this chicken in ancient Chinese writings. Because of her great motherly attitudes, the silkie cock can raise a child from another mother, even from other animals such as ducks and swans.
Do you know Steemit's best friend, that Silkie is Lighter than the Other Chickens.
Due to the dense fur, sometimes these nags look much bigger than they really are. Normally, their weight is only about 1-2 kg. Marco Polo was the first to introduce a silkie chicken in the West Country.
About 100-200 eggs are produced annually by the silkie chicken. In summer, they can stop laying temporarily.
Unfortunately, they are often bullied by other animals. Therefore, owners of silkie chickens must be careful, so that it does not happen.
