Description


I am not 100% shure of this bird but I think it´s a Silkie chicken, please correct me if I am wrong. The scientific name of the species is Silkie Bantam or Gallus domesticus. The Silkie is a variety of chicken believed to have originated in eastern Asia. Silkies generally have a fluffy appearance due to their feathers lacking functioning barbicels; essentially, all their feathers are very much like down. Their unique appearance and their quiet temperament mean they are often kept as pets. The hens easily become broody, laying only a dozen or so eggs before attempting to hatch out their clutch. They are considered excellent mothers. Their broodiness makes them a poor breed for egg production, and their dark skin makes them difficult to market as meat birds in Europe and America. Info from Wikipedia. Photo taken with Konica Minolta Dimage Z5. Hope you like it and thanks for watching :-)

A unique and fascinating bird. You captured her perfectly. (However, it doesn't appear she feels as good about the photo as we do...) ;']
