I wanted a silkie, they are awesome. Only problem is that they only sell them strait run, meaning in-sexed, and I can't have roosters where I live. So I decided to not take the chance on falling in love with it to find out it was a roo, and having to get rid of it. Chickens are awesome, tell her Congrats! She will love them. Also, chickens once established, don't always take new additions to the flock well. They can and sometimes will, peck a new girl to death. Better get your silkie in now so the group can grow up and establish order while they are all young.
