Silkie breeding, genetics & showing

Where are you located?
I am in east Tennessee.next to the n.c. and Virginia border.I cannot find anyone in my area that has any silkies of good quality.I have been online for weeks searching Craig's list ,BYC ,etc.. everything I find ,I do not like their looks,or they are too far away and don't ship.hatching eggs I really can't do as I only have a heat lamp right now and would have to much money in eggs that I may or may not get good hatch rate. I hear there's a show in Knoxville ,but that's a few weeks off and not sure I can go cause hubby works out of town.

There are plenty of good Silkie breeders around Knoxville. We are in West TN but have made trips to Knoxville for Silkies. Try googling Tennessee Silkie Breeders or Knoxville Silkie Breedrrs and see what you find.

You could also try Jamie at Sleepy Hollow Farms. I know she ships hatching eggs (which I had a great hatch rate from) and I'm pretty sure she ships chicks too. The porcelain in my avatar came from her, she's a super nice lady!

I just browsed the ASBC booklet and found two breeders in Knoxville
I don't know if it is ok to just write their info publically, so if you want PM me and let me know other cities close by and I will do my best to help you out. Have you tried on Facebook? There are several silkie groups.
