Hello, Brian, and welcome to BYC. Consider buying 3. That way if/when one dies two remain to serve as company for one another.

Hi Brian! All the best with your Silkies when you get them. Are you buying chicks or adults? I agree with @sourland best to get 3. Welcome to BYC

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. Silkies are extremely difficult to sex before 4-5 mos. of age and sometimes NOT before they lay eggs or crow. If you are purchasing very young chicks you may not end up with the gender(s) you want.

Hello, Brian, and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined. Definitely get a minimum of 3.
