I couldn't be sure, but I'm on Craigslist everyday and Silkies are on there everyday. Somebody's breeding them. The lady I use is on here, username Brody's Broodello. She breeds BEAUTIFUL SILKIES that are from Show and Breeding quality birds. I have 2 gorgeous splash  from her. But, she is in Cecil County, MD.

LOL!! You're a breeder! Maybe if I had bothered reading your signature?! Here I am trying to sell April's birds to you. Too Funny!!

I would like to start out with about 4 to 6 hens.I could sure use all the information everyone could offer
Thanks Vince

Vinniemac: I would get a copy of your borough code, we bought ours from our TWP building, read through (tedious, I know) and find out on your own if chickens are permitted. If they are, you're good to go. If they're not... Well now I personally would not try to convince my borough to change their mind. I would get them (no Roos) and live my happy, contented, quiet chicken raising life. IF the borough found out (from my nosey neighbor who has nothing better to do than spy on me n my poor chickens -even though I give her hush money in the form of eggs). Then, I would try to convince my borough to change their mind.

This is a gamble, as you could invest money, time, and your heart into your chooks and then have to get rid of them, but I, personally would rather have them for a short while than not at all.

Hiya Sara! Chesco for me too! In fact I'm sitting in Kennett Square right now. Post pics of your chicks when you get them.
