Description:
Silkies were originally bred in China, where they are still kept (and eaten) today. They have black skin and bones and 5 toes instead of the normal 4.
In addition, Silkie hens make wonderful mothers and are even known to adopt baby ducks if given the chance! (You will get a mix of bearded and non-bearded varieties with your Silkie order.)
Of all the ornamental chicken breeds, the Silkie Bantam is the most popular and most loved. Can't you tell why? They're the lap dog of the chicken world, complete with hair-like plumage and an incredibly sweet temperament.

Baby Chicks: Buff Silkie Bantam Female
I couldn’t be happier with my Buff Silkie! She’s an absolute gem—so gentle and affectionate. From the moment I introduced her to my existing flock, she fit right in like she had always been part of the family. Silkies have such unique personalities; they’re not only gorgeous with their fluffy plumage, but also incredibly smart and friendly. If you’re looking for a breed that’s both charming and easy to manage, I can’t recommend Silkies enough. They’re truly a joy to have in my flock!

She was DOA. If the divider was not in the box she would be alive on arrival. I did not order the vitamins that would of been placed in the divider so it should not of been placed in the shipping box.

Baby Chicks: Buff Silkie Bantam Female
Our Honeybun came to us in February of 2011, along with several other chicks, including a blue silky, Tinkerbell. At 11 yrs of age, Honeybun is the last living member of that group; her buddy Tinkerbell passed at 9 yrs. Most silkies tend to go broody often, but not Honey. Unlike Tinker, she wasn’t much of a lap bird, but she was a faithful layer of small cream eggs for many years (her laying years are long gone now).

She was always my tiniest chicken. I used to call her my furry little kidney bean as she ran under the other chickens. She is so adorable!!!

Margie is a natural born mother. She is obsessed with being broody. We often have to pluck her off her nest to force her to enjoy her day outside of the nest box. She also has a glorious voice, a loud obnoxious sustained honk. Not the fondest of human love, but definitely fond of breaking into the house and stealing cat food.
