Silkie

Silkie is not, as her name suggests, an ornamental chicken; but her luscious fur could easily be mistaken for showy plumage were it not for her sweet snout and long legs. A youthful Maltese emerging from rough-and-tumble circumstances, this girl is long, lithe and very energetic. Loves a lap, a gentle scritch, and lazy afternoons wedged in with you, a dog pal or both, on a comfy couch or nest of blankies. Her manners are dandy, and she is capable of leaps, bounds and walkies. Where are you going to find a hen with such gifts? Adopt her today; get your eggs at the farmer’s market.
