Hi, if you are looking for silkies.. Purely Poultry has some nicer quality birds than other hatcheries I have bought from in the past. Especially the Buffs and Splashes.

I agree with Chickie Mamma, I think you should order your silkie chicks from Purely Poultry !

Just a note... I placed an order at purely poultry on 3/11 for 15 birds, including silkies...the site said they were all avail. It's taken me this long to get a ship date...yesterday I was told I wouldn't have them till April 7th.
Very discouraged with the service and availability... unsure of quality yet of course, but anything has to be better than the junk they sell at Ideal! I've had too many die from Ideal, weak and inferior birds all!
Keeping my fingers crossed for good quality birds...even with the wait they will be worth it.
Everyone I know has said good things about Meyers, Mt Healthy and Mcmurray.
Good luck! Enjoy

Sorry you are having a service issue. I've ordered from all you mentioned and had great service from all.

I'm sure everything will work out....

Just wish I'd known it was going to be such a wait...

Your birds are gorgeous!! If mine come from the same breeder, it will be worth the wait.
