Photo: @Robert Clark | The Silkie is a breed of chicken named for its atypically fluffy plumage, which is said to feel like silk. The breed has several other unusual qualities, such as black skin and bones, blue earlobes, and five toes on each foot, whereas most chickens only have four. They are often exhibited in poultry shows, and appear in various colors.

It is unknown exactly where or when first appeared, but the most well documented point of origin is ancient China. The first written account of Silkies comes from Marco Polo, who wrote of a furry chicken in the 13th century.
Recognized officially in North America with acceptance into the Standard of Perfection in 1874. Once Silkies became more common in the West, many myths were perpetuated about them.
They are often kept as ornamental fowl or pet chickens by backyard keepers, and are also commonly used to incubate and raise the other chickens and waterfowl like ducks and geese and game birds such as quail and pheasants. In addition to their distinctive physical characteristics, Silkies are calm with a friendly temperament. Silkies are considered an ideal pets #evolution #selectiveBreeding #Darwin @Robert Clark @thephotosociety
