| Welcome to Valley Hatchery! We are pleased to offer our highly sought-after Black Silkie Bantam Chickens. These birds are not only beautiful to look at, with their unique, fluffy black feathers and turquoise earlobes, but they are also a joy to have as pets. Silkies are known for their calm, docile personalities and make excellent companions.
In addition to their delightful personalities, Black Silkie Bantams are also reliable egg-layers, producing a good number of small, tinted eggs. Roosters generally weigh in at 36oz, while hens are a bit smaller at 32oz. As an added bonus, our Black Silkie Bantams are of the bearded variety, which is distinguished by the fluffy feather muffs that cover their earlobes and flow down below their beak. Both male and female Black Silkie Bantams can have beards, adding to their unique and charming appearance. The breed originated in Asia and has been officially recognized by the American Poultry Association. They are shown in the Feather Legged Bantam Class and are often used for exhibition. Black Silkie Bantams are also known for their strong maternal instincts and tend to go broody, making them excellent choices for anyone looking to hatch their own chicks.
