Description:

Silkies are the lap dog of the chicken world, complete with hair-like plumage and an incredibly sweet temperament. They make the perfect outdoor pet for kids and families. 

They were originally bred in China, where they are still kept (and eaten) today. They have black skin, 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 a chance! You will get a mix of bearded and non-bearded varieties with your Silkie order. 


And according to a recent poll we conducted, Silkies are a favorite choice as a pet for children! When stacked up against super popular breeds like Orpingtons, Cochins, Brahmas, and Easter Eggers, they were a top choice.
