MPC's silked Easter eggers - who has them?

[Arelwood]

What do you think of them if you have them? I've added them to my cart 3 times this week, please either convince me to go ahead and get them, or tell me they're the worst chickens ever created so I can stop looking at them.

Same. I can't decide if I want to get them! The reviews make it seem like they don't have as high of colored egg % as they claim...but I love silkies anyway and I really want a white one.

The more recent the reviews, the more correct they seem to be compared to the description

I got my first egg today from one of my silkie easter eggers! I love these guys! I'll try to get some pictures of them soon, but here's their first egg. The girls are all very easy going and sweet and curious. The roo, Mr. Fluffles, is adorable but a little extra dumb haha. Overall 10/10 highly recommend. I noticed their price is double what I paid last year so I'm not sure I'd buy at that price but I'd say these puffballs are splurge-worthy.

Here are my fluffies at scratch time this evening.

I have one! She was $22 (that doesn’t include shipping!). She is the cutest and sweetest of my 12 chickens! I wish I would’ve gotten two of them. She is little and fluffy. Not as fluffy as a silky, but she doesn’t have very many “regular” feathers. She’s six months old now and hasn’t laid an egg. Here’s hoping it will be blue! But if it’s not, I would have still bought her. I love her sweet gentle personality! Don’t tell the other ladies, but she is my favorite.

Cream Puff laid the lightest blue egg in the picture (the big blue egg is from the Cream Legbar)! She is 7 months old. So happy it’s blue, not cream!

I added one to my order out of curiosity. She’s 9 months old and just laid her first egg. She’s a smidge bigger than my polish, but fluffy like my silkies. She’s sweet, but cautious and reserved.

I just ordered 4 females from MPC at $66 a piece And I'm happy to pay it. I believe they were priced so high because I wanted sexed girls. A silkie with the hopes of laying a blue egg? YESSSSS! These will be my first chickens ever. Coop being built now. I'm super eggcited hehe. I read the reviews on the website and online and was sold on MPC's reputation and on this special breed they have developed. I think its really exciting to see what surprises this cross can offer in the terms of looks and egg color. Easter eggers come with the same gamble on egg color. Its the surprise that is fun.

I know paying so much per chick seems ridiculous to many, but to me, it's worth it. So much money will get spent on feed, coop, and fun food and extras over the next years, so what's paying this much for a fun breed really in the end of it all?
