I think the following information is appropriate for all chicken pages, and I would love to see it on Silkies as well:

  • Eggs per year.
  • Weight ranges.
  • Photograph

Silkies are certainly a very unique bird, and I'm certain that have a much more interesting history than a few references by Marco Polo. Any more on the history of the silkie and its usage in China would be very much appreciated.

The photograph is really what's needed to make this page, since silkies have such a unique appearance. Unfortunately I've been unable to find any suitably licensed images, and I haven't kept silkies myself for a couple of years. It will be a while until I get a chance to photograph one myself.

I've added an image to the page, but the license is rather cumbersome. The photographer and website must be displayed alongside the image whenever it is shown. A more wikipedia-friendly licensed image would be wonderful. --PJF (talk) 10:47, 27 Nov 2004 (UTC)
