silkies r the bomb hands down!!! i have had them in weather down to as low as -7 , they r very hardy. silkies have walnut combs which looks like a squished prune,lol. only thing different is their feathers r not barbed like a regular chickens so it makes they r shreeded and poofy. u will not be disapointed!! silkies can hatch anything u put under them from quail to duck, turkey ect except emu,lol. only thing is the bigger it is the less they can sit on. i don't know how big peafowl eggs r though.
