I absolutly love this breed of chickens! ^.^ They're extremely unique and wonderful pets. Silkie is also an alternate spelling of Selkie, a mythical creature that can change between seal and human form...Which of you think about it, that does make sence since they look seal-like. =] And about the laughing thing, they're just jealous ;)

OMG! I grew up on a ranch back home in Texas and we had those! I still have one named Andy actually. I am really not sure either!! I They are such a sweet breed. We also have duck with "top knots". They have bulks of feathers on there head so they look like they have an afro! Ever had any of these???
