Hatching Eggs: Gold Project Silkie, Flock & Field Location

These Gold Silkie Hatching Eggs come from an active Silkie project pen designed to explore and develop unique color combinations and feather textures. Silkies are known for their signature soft, fur-like feathering, dark skin, and calm, personable temperament—making them favorites among hobbyists and show breeders alike.

About the Project Breeding Pen:

• Roosters: One Partridge Silkie and one modified frizzle gold Silkie
• Hens: A diverse mix, including multiple satin-feathered hens
• Expected chick outcomes may include: Red Pyle, Partridge, Lavender, Calico, and other mixed or experimental Silkie color varieties.

Important Breeding Note:
This is an active Silkie project flock, not a breed-standardized flock. As such, chicks may hatch with a range of traits, and faults are possible. This offering is intended for poultry keepers and breeders who understand and accept genetic variability rather than uniform outcomes.

Why Choose These Silkie Eggs?

• Potential for rare color combinations and unique feather textures
• Includes genetics for frizzle and satin feathering
• Ideal for breeding experimentation or ornamental backyard flocks
  

If you're passionate about ornamental chicken breeding and excited by the potential of emerging lines, these Gold Silkie Project Hatching Eggs provide a dynamic foundation for exploring the future of Silkie color genetics.

Will my eggs arrive intact? 

My Pet Chicken absolutely guarantees that the fertile hatching eggs you order from us will arrive intact and ready for incubation. If any eggs for which you have paid arrive cracked or broken, we will refund or reship them in the case of 50% or more of the eggs being damaged. Please contact us within 48 hours of receiving the damaged eggs to report the issue and provide photos of the damage.

Can I choose which day my eggs will arrive?

When you place your order, you can choose your preferred week of shipment. Your order could ship any day of the week. Should there be an issue with your order, we will attempt to contact you.

Some of our flocks are kept at different facilities, so if you order multiple breeds or assortments, your eggs may not all arrive at once. We will do our best to coordinate, but we cannot guarantee they will all arrive on the same day. If you are uncomfortable with staggered hatches, you may want to place your orders separately or contact us for further instructions. We are happy to help!

Will the post office deliver the eggs to my door? 

Shipping labels on our hatching egg boxes indicate that the post office should "CALL ON ARRIVAL." This reduces the handling and extremes of temperature the eggs experience en route to you and can ultimately increase the viability of your eggs. However, this information is often not seen by the carrier, and eggs are delivered to the physical shipping address on the label anyway.

If it is imperative to you that the eggs not be delivered directly to your shipping address, you can change the ship-to address on your order to the address of your post office of choice, attn: 'your name.' If you choose to do this, make sure to include a valid phone number so the post office can reach you when the box arrives.
