Searching for Silkies in NJ

[marifrag]

Hi byc! I hope this is in the right place. I’m searching for a Silkie breeder or backyard farmer with Silkies looking to part with some birds in NJ. I’ve been searching with no luck so where’s the best place to ask? We lost some of our flock because of predators. I’d really like to get close to show quality birds or just very fluffy. Also, my current chicks are all feathered but they have true feathers on the side. It’s on both the male and female. Will they remain that way or eventually change out? I’d really like to have ones that resemble the photos you find of Silkies.

I’m looking for local birds because I just can’t do minimums right now. Most likely next season I will be up for that amount again

I have a trio of white Silkies - cockerel and 2 pullets - about 5 months old. They aren't top show quality, but did okay at the 4H Fair. They're soft, sweet and fluffy ... and very, very tame. I'm in northeastern Maryland, but could meet up in Delaware.

Some Pics of the Silkie's we have available ...

Meet The Magic Schoolbus Crew - Ralphie, Liz and Phoebe - all named after Miss Frizzle's adventurous students! They were hatched the week before Easter - March 27-29, 2018 All three tested clean for AV and Pullorum (in July 2018 for County Fair) They are healthy, happy youngsters, very sweet-natured and extremely tame.

Ralphie making sure everything's cool before they leave the run.

This next picture isn't the best one of the Schoolbus crew, but it does show how soft and fluffy they are - even when they've just had a good roll in the mulch! The two Sebrights in this picture are also available - there are five of those - two gold laced cockerels and three pullets (two silver- & one gold-laced.)

Did I miss any good stuff?

Liz - out exploring...

I’m in NY, am NPIP and can ship silkies. I have lots of babies and juveniles to choose from.
