Personality: Very human friendly, Sweet, Tame & Mothering Unique Feature: Fluffy Feathers, Crested, Bearde & 5 Toes If you have kids or simply enjoy rare and unique chicken breeds, our Silkies belong in your coop! We are excited we were able to obtain a good amount of unrelated Silkies from quality breeders and some show winning lines and offer their baby chicks to you. They are just the cutest little fluffy chicks you've ever seen.

Silkie chicks are so adorable when they hatch with all that fluff, grey skin, extra toe and fuzzy notch on the top of their head. A study was conducted on favorite chicken breeds for children with silkies and other popular chicken breeds to choose from and silkies came in at number 1. The fuzzy top hat on their head giving them lack of sight probably helps with them being such a tame docile chicken breed. They are so easily handled and you usually can walk right up to them without them even flinching. Silkies are among a favorite chicken breed for kids. Though our adult stock was hand selected for show quality, we can not guarantee the chicks you receive will turn out to be show quality like their parents. Most of our flocks are bearded but there's a small chance you can receive chicks that are non-bearded as well. Many of our breeders are from show quality breeding stock but we can't guarantee all chicks you will receive will be show quality. We can not take special orders of a certain color Silkie yet so for now you will receive an assortment of silkie chick colors. We currently mainly have Blue, black, splash and white colored silkies in our unrelated breeding flocks but the colors you may receive could be blue, black, splash, white, buff, partridge. If your silkie hen goes broody and attempts to hatch her own eggs, they make excellent chicken mothers.

They are also prone to becoming broody on their eggs so collecting their eggs often will make it less likely for them to go broody on a nest full of eggs if you don't want them to hatch their eggs. Silkies lay about 100 to 130 small eggs a year and their eggs are either white, cream or sometimes a light tan color. Oddly, Silkie roosters are much less likely to crow when there are other roosters present. Another cool note about silkies is the roosters usually rarely crow or never crow at all! In fact, at Feather Lover Farms, we have never noticed our Silkie roosters crow. They also usually have an extra toe on back toe area. Silkies are also one of very few breeds with black or grey skin. Their exotic hair-like fluffy feathers make them hard to live without. They are commonly misspelled as Silky chickens. They originate in China and are the most popular and most desired chicken breed of all ornamental chicken breeds and its easy to tell why. Silkies are super soft and super friendly chickens. Feather Lover Farms has created a few unrelated breeding flocks and we are excited to send our beautful Silkie chicks to you.
