Having hatched out some last year and again this year I can say they should get a little more care regarding shedding. They are more prone to shedding issues but it only takes a few minutes every few days or so to soak them which I found to be helpful. I have not bred a silkie so I can't comment on that. I think to say they shouldn't be produced is a bit extreme. Just given the proper care that's all. A little lotion seems to help as well but isn't absolutely needed, I don't think.
