It seems this time every year, despite having quadrupled our Silkie breeder hens in preparation for another year of chicken mania, Silkie availability becomes so spotty that we can't offer specific varieties. And so it is this year, too. But hey, chin up! All Silkies are cool -- and My Pet Chicken is the one and only place where you can pick whether you want males, females, or straight run (unsexed)!

Your purchase of a Silkie Bantam assortment will get you a hatchery choice of bearded and non-bearded Silkies, in any combination of the following colors:

Splash
Blue
White
Black
Buff
Red
Partridge

Please do remember that our minimum for bantams is 5 -- and that's only if you live in a major city. In most locations, our minimum is 8-10. You can read more about that below, or here.

TBD

Baby chicks can now be shipped in quantities as small as three, depending on location (see below). All baby chicks are shipping via USPS Express Mail on Mondays, but due to hatching availability they might not be shipped for up to eight weeks. We will notify you by email so you know exactly when to expect them.

How to determine the best minimum for you:
Our smallest order size of 3 chicks applies to major cities only, such as Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, Boston, Seattle, Portland OR, etc., due to the speed with which they can be delivered. If you live within 30 minutes of a major city, the best minimum is 5 chicks. For any town or rural area that is more than 30 minutes from a major city, our minimum is 8 chicks. This is to protect the chicks due to increased time in transit. If you are ordering Bantams, we strongly recommend that you add two chicks to any of the above quantities. We love our babies too much to let anything happen to them!
