Apple and Dande­lion are a type of chicken know as a Silkie. They came from a farm in Port Colborne where they were hatched out when they were just a few days old. They live on a farm with Stephanie and her family with many other types of chick­ens in their hen house. Both of them are female chick­ens, known as hens and are about a year old. Apple, the darker one, was named by Stephanie’s youngest son and is a Patridge Silkie. Dande­lion, the white hen, was named by Rose­mary and is a white Silkie. They are known for their fluffy feath­ers, espe­cially around their feet and head. They lay small eggs every few days and are both very sweet chickens.
