Twenty - at the moment! Two silkies looking on the broody side. (Only to be expected - the brooding season for silkies is when there’s a “y” in the day)

I think I could fall in love with solkies
Soft long feathers and gentle natures
What’s not to love?

Joe had better take charges of the ones in the Cellar garden, then…
The Silkie hens are one hen of each colour: one of the non-standard ones, a red bearded silkie, and a partridge silkie, and a cuckoo silkie, and a bearded splash silkie, and a buff silkie, and a chocolate silkie, and a black silkie, and a white bearded silkie, and a golden silkie, and a blue silkie makes eleven.

In charge of silkies? Oh yes, they’ll let us think that, so long as we do exactly what they want. They manage to con the roosters, too… 
Remember this?

Silkies are the poultry equivalent of cats in their ability to train humans?

I’ll probably manage that all by myself…
Well, maybe not the Marmite. About the only yeast product I haven’t taken to
