Ordered silkie chicks!!

[PrestonSloan08]

Ok so I jus ordered three silkie chicks from Meyer hatchery! I was wondering if anyone else has ever done that? And how do they keep the chicks warm? I was wandering if they will be ok when they get here!?

First may I say, congrats, and enjoy them!

I'm sure they will send them properly, and remember, it is quite warm this time of year.

You should be very pleased with your order! What color did you order?

I ordered 1 red and 2 blue!!! They are supposed to be coming in by the end of this month!! I'm so excited!!! Silkies are so different looking( even though there feet kindof freak me out)

I still really like them!! So do they have feathers or is it more like hair? Like can you pull them out like a normal feather!! I'm so confused!!

To your hands it feels like fur, my neighbors all think my chickens have fur! One of the little toddlers in my neighborhood call them "puppy chicks" because they got fur like a dog

, but yes silkies actually have feathers and they do come out just like a normal feather would if you pulled it!

I swear my cat thinks they are her kittens. She protects them from all the other cats in the neighborhood.

Your going to love your silkies, Congrats!
