Hi! My name is Shannon. I am new to chickens, but not to birds in general. I am a hobby breeder of several variety of small parrots. I am looking for a show quality silkie here in AZ. I was hoping someone here could point me in the right direction. I am not opposed to a roo, I would just like to hear one in person before commiting. I am in East Mesa, right on the Apache Junction border. I appreciate any help and look forward to chatting with you all!

Um there are a few on out that way. I know aurorarose has nice ones.

Hi, new to the thread! Relatively new to silkies, as well. My two are three months old right now. The white one's Sugar and the brown one is Spice, and I'm pretty sure they're male and female respectively. My local feed store happened to have silkie chicks in October and I couldn't resist bringing some home. They are SO SOFT! I can't get over it! Totally different from all my other chooks, I can totally see why traders in the 1800's got away with calling them rabbit-chicken crosses. Spice is a bit more independent than Sugar; Sugar is basically a living teddy bear.

This is fluff with her first hatch also. She is broody again. The one chick with the orange beak is a silkie but for some strange reason it hatched with yellow skin. Dont know why. LOL And you can see Dior and Vivienne in the other "rooms".
