I’M LOOKING FOR A FEMALE WHITE SILKIE

[ILoveSilkieChickens]

Hi guys, I recently lost a one week old white silkie chick and I’m looking to replace her/him. The problem is, I cannot seem to find anyone willing to give me a 1 day to 4 week old white female silkie purebred. Does anyone know where I can get a live 1 day to 4 week old white silkie chick? Anyone have one? And it needs to be a female please. I’ve been desperately wanting a silkie chicken as a pet for a long time now and I don’t want to give up on finding one. PLEASE help me out!

It's very hard to tell what gender silkies are at a young age, so you may have a lot of trouble finding a female, sadly.

Can you still help me find one?

Check with the online hatcheries. They might dna test. Most silkies that age are sold straight run, from what I’ve seen.

Like others have stated the only way to sex a Silkie that young is DNA otherwise it’s just a guess. My pet chicken does sell sexed Silkie but the are sold out till September. A few show breeders sex but female chicks are $50 plus each, amber wave Silkies is one that comes to mind.

Where are the online hatcheries at? Is there a specific website for it?

This one I know of specifically sells dna sexed https://showsilkies.com/ and this one but they do have any listed available until end of September, double check that they are dna sexing not vent sexing as vent sexing is dangerous and not accurate on tiny Silkie chicks. https://www.mypetchicken.com/catalog/Baby-Chicks/White-Silkie-Bantam-p250.aspx

Google order Silkie chicks or Silkie pullets. If any have some in stock, or will before the end of season, come back to byc and put the hatchery name into the search tool. You’ll be able to read about how others have done with orders from that particular hatchery. Good luck!
