Hello from Dallas, Texas!

[Blair75214]

I just set up my account and looking for a SILKIE CHICKEN! Anyone know of available silkies in the Dallas area?
Also, we can't have roosters in Dallas city limits, and its my understanding that you won't know if its a hen until 3-5 months old - is that correct?
Thanks for any help!

Have you tried craigslist? I've seen quite a few silkies on there. I know that there's several breeders in the Austin area right now.

from California, redsoxs gave you some good advise. Mypetchicken.com sells sexed silkies so you will get females instead of straight run.

Hi and welcome to BYC from northern Michigan

Silkies are very difficult to sex until they are much older than other breeds
