Hey,


My silkies seem to hate being kept inside during bad weather,  i get quite alot of squawking when i put there food inside for them... (mrs says im being told off by them for not letting them out)

so my question is this..

Are they safe to be out in this weather? they ignore completely the dry/wind proofed areas and go through the dirt,


Any input is appreciated..

[joyfull]

let them out they will be fine. I know silkies are supposed to be kept under cover when it rains but many silkies haven't read that section of the manual and quite like being out in the rain  Sadly most silkies have read the section of the manual where it says lay an egg then go broody

just let them out unless they are for show but mine stay out in the rain and i don't think they care

ooo I thought silkies had to be kept dry glad i'v read this, i wont pannic every time it rains 
P.s any of your silkies gone broody yet craig  if one does seperate her and put some eggs under her instead of using an incubator

i think one went broody, pecked at me for takin the egg and followed me out, rosey all sorts of, but i dont let the eggs stay in there long enough, lol

My silkies dont mind the rain, as long as I leave some cover available they will take shelter if it teams down otherwise they wonder round and seem to love mud baths.

some times it is hard to tell they are white
