Daisy, my blue silkie, was hatched sometime in the middle of 2008, making her 13 years old when she passed peacefully yesterday, with her best friend, Duck by her side. (BTW, Duck isn't a duck, she's a buff silkie chicken). When most silkies live 7 to 9 years, Daisy definitely loved the Volcano lifestyle and lived a very, very long life. She was one of two silkies that I obtained from Just Tom of Pahoa and together with Lily (the white one) when she was just 2 months old and together, they successfully hatched out three beautiful silkies (from fertilized eggs from a breeder in TN). Daisy was so protective of the chicks and was a good momma to them. Daisy loved greens from the garden but didn't like strawberries too much. As the matriarch of the Yoshioka silkie flock, she was a sweet thing and I hold many, many fond memories of sweet Daisy. May she rest in peace.
