If you want to get LF silkies or "giant" bantam silkies, you can try JM hatchery. I ordered 15 supposedly bantam silkies from them last Nov and in 3 month, they were noticeably bigger and stronger than my 3 1/2 year old silkie. They were growing like bantam silkies on steroid. These could be white silkie broiler as well just seeing the growth rate. Supposedly these get big fast but don't get fluffy.

I got a LF Silkie from Hoover's Hatchery.

I never heard of JM Hatchery.


From Hoover's 3 bantam, 3 Mediums, & 1 Large fowl from a batch of just bantams.

I'll be cleaning my incubator today, but just not quite ready to start breeding for this project until after the snow melts.

I'm preparing for my Malay hatching eggs, which will ship the 16th of March.
