MPC Silkie Girls are here!***NEW Pics!!!***

Awesome ladies! I will remember that for the future. I live near phoenix so it shouldn't be a problem to order them! Thanks for the information. I would rather order my own birds so I can pick the breed I want rather than just the regular breeds from the feed store. Thanks again.

By the way... The chickies are totally cute

Gosh they are way too cute!! I would LOVE to have silkie chicks but they'd have to be all hens and that's not a possibility so alas.

They are adorable. Congrats! Gotta love the silkies, they are fast becoming my favorites in my flock.

OH no, you can order silkies from MPC and have them sexed. It is an additional $7 per chick but well worth it in my opinion. I understand there is room for error but I have heard their accuracy is pretty good. I hope so in my case. So the straight run silkies are $3, add $7 for females. My 5 girls came in a t a total of $84.00 for everything.

She means that she got 5 Silkie girls and shipping for $84.00, so a total cost of $16.80 per chick.

You have allow them so much room for error. I think it's like 10%

Gorgeous little girlies you have there.
