Of all the ornamental chicken breeds, the Silkie Bantam is one of the
most beloved,and for good reason! These fluffy little birds look as if
they're covered with fur rather than feathers.
Silkies are
actually fairly good layers, although their eggs are small and the hens
often take breaks in laying to go broody and try to hatch eggs! They are
stubborn broodies, but will make wonderful mothers if you want to hatch
future batches of eggs in the way mother nature intended. The Seussian
fluffer-nutters have fun personalities and are one of the most
entertaining chickens to watch. They are adorable with a brood of
babies. They are also some of the cutest little chicks we have. With
their dark skin, fluffy heads and extra toes, they really stand out!
Silkies
have an incredibly sweet temperament, and are calm, friendly birds. The
White Silkies that you'll hatch from these eggs will come both bearded
and non-bearded.
Due to the genetics
of the blue plumage color, your birds will hatch in blue, black and
splash: about 50% of your chicks will be blue, 25% will be black and 25%
will be splash (which is white or light blue, often with darker blue
flecks in the wings and tail).
Shipping: Eggs are shipped via USPS Priority Mail. No need to
choose a faster shipping method besides 'Ground'. If you'd like eggs
shipped via USPS Express Mail, please give us a call!
