Wanted: Lavender Silkies! Salisbury, NC!

[feather leg farms]

I have every color of silkies but not lavender. That color is like chocolate. LOL!

 

[Funky Feathers]

The only breeders I know who have Lavenders are: Brenda Gambill (TX), George Mihalik (NM) and Bobbi Porto (FL). There may be a couple more but those are the only ones I know of. Good luck!

What about sonorasilkies? If she doesn't have any- bet she could tell you how to make some! Really good with the genetics/color stuff.

Paradise Silkies in Tx has them. I went to her farm and got some birds, and I think I went home with one with the lavender gene.

She doesn't sell eggs, only chicks and chickens. But she charges $175 a pop for chicks!

$175 each for chicks?............................

Good Grief Why?.............. Do they shoot out golden eggs by the doubles?....

For that price they would HAVE to............

They will require a lot of work to get them looking like they should, but Ideal hatchery sells them.

Gee, let's see.
Rare color, though it is becoming more common as
more breeders get into it.
Show winning parents... so possible show winning chicks.

Usually equals higher priced.
