I know Marge Best has chicks available and all the way to adult birds I believe. She has Silkies of every color, even projects. And some Cochins. If you want her email I can PM it to you. Her chicks are 5-10 each, depending on age. Price goes up for older birds. And she is real good, I had a chick die 4 days after I got it and she gave me 2 as replacements. So now my wife has 5 Silkie chicks in our indoor brooder, about 2-3 weeks old.

Could you PM Me her email?

I'm wondering how long I should wait before trying to hatch these new pullets eggs?
I'm pleased with the size from them, they are almost as big as my brahma hens eggs. The shells look really nice also.

I would wait another week just to be sure they are fertile.

I wait until they are at least a Medium on my egg scale. Some of my Marans lay a large right from the get-go and if I like the pullet and her egg, she goes in with the roo..........

Maybe I missed something about her length of time with the roo? I also wait about a week after being in with the roo to start collecting eggs for incubation.
