Our Silkie Bantams are known for their calm, docile personalities and make excellent 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. Silkies are shown in the Feather Legged Bantam Class and are often used for exhibition.
Silkies 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 Silkies are also of the bearded variety, with fluffy feather muffs that cover their earlobes and flow down below their beak. Both male and female Silkies can have beards, adding to their unique and charming appearance.
Please note that we will do our best to give you a variety of Silkie colors in this special, but we cannot guarantee a specific variety or assortment. You may receive all one color or an assortment of colors.
