‘Silked’ White Easter Egger

[black_cat]

My Show silkies look like they are the Bantam Cochin based ones, which aren't exactly purebred. All three are cockerels so I can't really compare.

Still adorable.

I'd really like a blue or splash silkie-they are amazing!

Hoover's are purebred, just not show quality

My Hoovers Silkies produce great quality chicks.

so from most hatcheries the minimum is already too many.

The price pays off because I can order the three birds that I'd like without worrying about them dying in the male, having extra roos for warmth, or having too many chicks that I can't keep.

Unfortunately for me and my zip code the minimum at MPC is seven, not three For me, what’s three more, but seven is really pushing it. Maybe next year. Really went nuts with the chicken math.

Mine is 4 standards, 5 mixed or 6 bantam for minimums. So either 4 standards or 6 bantam since I don't think it's a good idea to mix sized

First- I cannot believe that I typed 'male' instead of 'mail' and I"m now very embarrassed.
I think that it depends on how close you are to the hatchery. I'm right near them so I can do their lowest minimums of 3 standards 5 bantams.
