Silkies - Breeder Quality

[Nicole_Hutchison]

Looking to add more silkie hens to my flock. I started breeding silkies in NW Arkansas and they are selling much faster than I expected. The very few hens I have come across are not the right quality.

Anyone know of a silkie breeder in/near Northwest Arkansas? I am in Fayetteville, AR.

The list of breeders in Arkansas of all poultry participating in the NPIP program are in subsection E of the following PDF.

Missouri also has quite a few breeders in SW MO. Also, scroll to subsection E.

Missouri used to print out their own yearbook but stopped doing so. It listed the breeds.
The links I gave you have the breeds, but they are in code.
Here is the key to the code

Bantam chickens' codes start with a W.
Silkie codes are on page 19 of this PDF.
