Valley Hatchery is pleased to present our high quality Buff Silkie Bantam Chickens. These ornamental birds are perfect for anyone looking to add some stunning color to their flock. With their rich golden plumage, our Buff Silkies are sure to turn heads at exhibition.
In addition to their beautiful appearance, Buff Silkie Bantams are also known for their calm and docile personalities, making them great pets. They are reliable egg-layers, producing a good number of small, tinted eggs. Roosters generally weigh in at 36oz, while hens are slightly smaller at 32oz. The breed originated in Asia and is officially recognized by the American Poultry Association. Buff Silkies are shown in the Feather Legged Bantam Class and are often used for exhibition.
As with other Silkie varieties, Buff Silkie Bantams are known for their strong maternal instincts and tend to go broody, making them excellent choices for anyone looking to hatch their own chicks. And as an added bonus, our Buff Silkie Bantams are also of the bearded variety, with fluffy feather muffs that cover their earlobes and flow down below their beak. Both male and female Buff Silkies can have beards, adding to their unique and charming appearance.
