6+ Bantam Silkied Barred & Black Cochin eggs ~NPIP~

[swheat]

6+ Bantam Silkied Cochin Eggs in Barred and Black varieties. A few years ago I had a barred pullet hatch out silkied. It has taken me 3 year to produce these silkied cochins, since the "gene for silkie feathering" is recessive. I have 2 silkied barred roos over barred & black silkied cochin hen and also black cochin hens split to "silkied". So some chicks may hatch out normal feathered but they will carry the gene for "silkied feathering".
I have been getting great fertility here, but I can not guarantee your hatch rate due to shipping and/or incubation techniques.
I bubble wrap each eggs and then place them in a egg carton which is securely packed in a #7 Priority Mail box. I think the larger box offers good protection. NPIP 64-1039 & AI Certified My Paypal id is [email protected] I have some ready to now also, if interested just pm or email me.

I have some ready to go out now if interested(total of 8 eggs - 3 from yesterday and 5 today). You don't have to bid just send payment by Paypal to [email protected] I can get some out tomorrow.

I crossed a Karl Rau black roo with the silkied pullet I hatched. I sure can tell the impovement in the offspring in this line from using Karl's roo, these birds have huge wide cushions on them.

Below is a pic of a barred roo after maturing.

When they were younger in the pics below.

What is your hatch ratio for the silkie feathering & the hard feather? They are really unique birds.

On the average about 60-70% silkie feathering to hard feather. I have 2 Barred roos are silkied, I have 2 barred silkied hens, 2 black silkied hens and 4 black hard feathered "split to silkied" hens in the pen. I have about 8 eggs ready to go.
