Hi, I’m Puffin

Species: Chicken
Breed: Chinese Silky
Colour: Red/Buff
Gender: Unknown

This lovely Silky, Puffin, has likely had limited handling in the past, and as a result is still shy about being touched. While they'll confidently spend time near people in their pen and are happy to approach a hand offering grain or seed, they aren't comfortable with being picked up just yet and will quickly run off when an attempt is made.

Despite this, their willingness to come close for treats shows great potential for trust-building. With gentle, consistent interaction and a calm environment, this Silky could grow more comfortable over time.

Perfect for adopters who are patient, understanding of chicken behaviour, and happy to let a bird move at their own pace, Puffin is a sweet, observant flock member looking for a safe home to continue gaining confidence.

If you're after a quiet companion who enjoys being nearby (just not in-hand), this little Silky could be the one for you! please fill out an adoption application today and include photos of your enclosure/coop and water source/s along with photos of the fences and land they will be roaming on.
