Product Description
It is an ancient breed from China, the breed is sometimes called Japanese Silkie, even though it probably arrived in Japan via China . The breed name comes from its soft, furlike plumage, resulting from the inability of the feather barbs to lock. All that fluff makes these birds look bigger than they really are. Silkies can mature to a weight of 4 pounds (1.8 kg) or more, but in North America they are bred to be small and therefore are not true bantams.
