Of all the ornamental chicken breeds, the Silkie Bantam is the most popular and most loved. Can't you tell why? They're the lap dog of the chicken world, complete with hair-like plumage and an incredibly sweet temperament. Silkies were originally bred in China, where they are still kept (and eaten) today. They have black skin and bones and 5 toes instead of the normal 4. In addition, Silkie hens make wonderful mothers and are even known to adopt baby ducks if given the chance! (You will get a mix of bearded and non-bearded varieties with your Silkie order.)
NOTE: WE CAN SHIP AS FEW AS FIVE BANTAMS, depending on your location. Our minimum orders for bantam babies run between five and ten, for their safety. There is no minimum per breed.
If you have questions about this policy, you can learn more by reading "How to determine the best minimum for you" below, or by visiting our
Chicken Help pages.
