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
