Description:
Every year for the past fifteen years, despite having expanded our Silkie breeder flocks in preparation for more Silkie mania, availability becomes super hard to come by. But hey, chin up! All Silkies are cool—and My Pet Chicken is the one of the only place where you can pick just a tiny quantity and select whether you want males, females, or both.
According to a poll we conducted, Silkies are the #1 favorite choice for children. When stacked up against super popular breeds like Orpingtons, Cochins, Brahmas, and Easter Eggers, they were the favorite, capturing 30% of the vote compared to just 24% for the next most popular choice.
You will receive one baby chick from this assortment for each quantity you add to your cart. Your purchase of a Silkie Bantam assortment will get you a hatchery choice of bearded and non-bearded Silkies, of the following colors:
- Splash
- Blue
- White
- Black
- Buff
- Cuckoo
Ordering Information:
- You will receive one baby chick from this assortment for each quantity you add to your basket.
- The colors chosen to fulfill your order are selected by the hatchery based on which colors had a particularly good hatch week your shipment is scheduled.
- We can't take requests, as we are at the mercy of Mother Nature's whims. If you really want that particular color, you'll need to wait for its availability to pop up.
Before you make your decision to purchase a hatchery choice assortment, you may want to read some frequently asked questions about the assortments:
- Can I get a "sold out" breed in an assortment?
- Can I choose what breeds I get?
- How will I know which breeds I received?

Mystery Chick from Our Silkie Bantam Assortment Female
I got 12 baby chicks on Sept. 27th 2022 like I mentioned on my previous review. On the 28th afternoon, I gave one of them to my black silkie broody hen. Later on, I checked the coop and my fluffy momma adopted it. So, I gave her all of them and she adopted them. Today is the day 3 that she has been a momma of 12 healthy baby chicks that I got from MPC and they look beautiful. Fluffy momma took them to the run to eat and they are all happy together.
This is my tip, once you get the baby chicks from MPC, put them in the brooder with food and water with vitamins. My intention was give them to my silkie broody hen cuz she has been on the fake eggs for so long and she was desperately trying to be a momma. Finally, she stopped with the broodiness and now she is all about the babies. MPC did an amazing job, specially, giving me different colors of silkies. Believe in me when I say, this company is amazing and I will be buying more soon.

I ordered 12 baby chicks to be shipped on Sept. 26th, 2022. I got them on Sept. 27th in the evening. This was my first time ordering baby chicks online. I ordered 4 female silkies (I got two buff, one black and one blue), also, 8 more but different breeds. Let me tell ya, all of them came healthy. One of my female buff silkie was quiet but she is getting smart now. They are fragile and the trip is stressful and they need food and water with vitamins as soon as you got them. Hug them when they are all settled down. I ordered 12 females and I hope they are female. I do recommend MPC because they really prepare the baby chicks for you. I read some comments saying this company is a scam. I am sorry but this company did a wonderful job, at least, with my order. Thank you MPC!

To whom it may concern, I ordered 12 baby chicks from MPC to be shipped on Sept 26th 2022. I am giving 5 stars because the customer service is AMAZING. I ordered 12 females of different breeds. I am a little concern about getting a rooster by mistake once I cannot have more roosters but I am trusting in the company and I will be back to share with you all my next review after getting my birds. At this point, I am very happy because I chose PMC to enrich my flock. Thanks!

First-time chicken owner. Received all 12 healthy chicks the day after they shipped. They were vigorous and started eating and drinking right away. I can tell they take pride in caring for these precious little fluff balls! If we order again we will definitely come back here.

I have been waiting MONTHS for my precious babies to arrive and was so scared about shipping! Luckily they arrived super quick (born Monday, arrived Wednesday early morning!). All nine of my babies were healthy, energetic, and LOUD! They have been social, friendly, and sweet right from the get-go. I am in love and would absolutely do it again!

The silkies I got from MPC are just the sweetest! All three were sexed correctly and two are laying earlier than expected (23 weeks for the first two and I’m getting 4/5 eggs a week from each). They follow me around like a dog and love to be held and snuggled. I received 2 bearded and one non-bearded. I was worried about hardiness but they love the rain and snow (and aren’t bothered by the cold) and hang outside even when the larger birds go in. They are the best, fluffiest chickens and I would suggest them to everyone! In a mixed flock I would recommend getting at least 2 silkies as only one of mine will roost. The others sleep in a pile with a giant snowy Easter egger (who does roost sometimes).

It was my first time buying chicks online, I was so worried but they arrived fine. One of them died and I received a refund. All the others are okay and happy. Thanks.

I received them two days after they shipped. I was worried! Finally, I open the box to see the cutest fluff butts. I ordered six, and I received two blacks, two blue, and One white. One worried me for a day, but after some electrolytes, and rest she is now the loudest chick in the bunch.

We received our 6 chicks yesterday and are in love! They arrived within 1 day of shipping and were all doing great when I picked them up from our local post office. I love that I received a mix of colors. I'm continuing to check for pasty butt, but so far they seem to be thriving. They're active, eating and drinking. Thanks for these beautiful chicks!

I knew this going in but Silkies don't always take shipping well. I ordered five silkies arrive and all five were alive, but one had a prolapsed vent and was half the size of her sisters. She woke up with wry neck after a week of being separated and treatment; she passed shortly after despite vitamin E and care. The rest are healthy, happy, and frolicking around in the brooder. I can't wait until they get as big as their personalities.

I ordered 6 female silkie chicks from this assortment, to surprise myself and see what happens. Well, was I positively surprised! First off they were shipped on a Monday and arrived on a Tuesday which is absolutely amazing. I am so happy they came this quick. They were securely packed and arrived all alive and well. I am delighted to say that they have given me 2 of each color, white/ buff/ black. I am so happy that they put care into the selection of my birds and didn’t just sent me 6 of the same color or something like that. I am very pleased.
I have had them for a Couple of days now at home and they are all doing amazing. They don’t even have pasty butts, which usually always happens. I am very very pleased with my pet chicken and will continue to order exclusively from them.

I have raised silkies for 10 years from MyPet Chicken and have raised chicks that the chickens have layed and it's a gamble some live and some die. But My Pet Chicken has been great! It's hard to get female Silkies from Hatcheries, yes ,I've done that and 2 girls and 48 boys. So ,Thank You So Much My Pet Chicken

Love my silkies but1 had beak deformity. Did not realize it when they first came , they were way to small but 1 of the white silkies had a severe beak deformity which makes it difficult for her to eat or drink. I have to hand feed this silkie, little dissapointed
