Silked White Easter Eggers

The Silked White Easter Egger is an exclusive breed only sold at My Pet Chicken.

This cross is new, and exclusive to MPC. It is the result of years of selective breeding across multiple generations. As the name suggests, we've bred a Silked Easter Egger! Get all the benefits of an Easter Egger in a special Silkie package.The chicks will have a random combination of muffs, beards and crests, and their skin will be either slate green or black in color. They typically will have feathered legs and feet, varying from lightly to heavily feathered. About 95% of their eggs will be blue in color and the remainder will be cream-colored — but 100% will be great egg layers!
