Silkie thread!

[Sanna]

So it turns out those chicks are high risk for Coccidiosis and are now being medicated and such. Thank goodness I did not get any! My cochins >.< That would have been awful. So anyhow. I wanted to ask where I need to go to get some amazing quality chicks. I need about 4. Preferably 3-5 weeks old so they go well with my other chicks. I checked on CL but the quality looked awful. I am in Washington state.
Any tips?
Thank you! I can't wait to start a little flock of fluffies!

I'd also recommend Catdance Silkies. I ordered my eggs from Karen last year. Got some nice birds. Taking three to a show tomorrow.

Maybe Karen will know someone closer to your location?

It is well worth it! I would drive over 5 hours for birds like hers!

I agree Sanna, with her being so young still only time will tell. Ty
