Love the silkie chook :D I used to breed silkies and Indian game when I was a youngn (not together of course! That would make a funny looking chook..). I like the bantam sussex too. I seem to like all my animals compact lol, pomeranian dogs, had a pony, bantam chooks etc. Maybe that's why I like finches so much?

Do you have chooks yourself JB?
