It sounds like you and your family are going to have a great time with new chicks! Personally, I would get different colors...the kids would be able to tell them apart and it's fun to see the various colors.

Best wishes to you!

Welcome Glad you decided to join, sounds like you are well prepared The size of your run is large (room for more ? ). Good luck with your new flock-you’ll love them. I also like to have a little variety and maybe get different colors or at least 2 different colors

Glad you joined!!! Sorry I don't know of breeders in your area. But as far as I know here in the US, hatcheries and breeders usually only sell straight run silkies. They're difficult to vent sex so it seems only a mix of boys and girls are available. Maybe it's different there? But you might want to be prepared for ending up with a couple cockerels (just something to think about). Best wishes starting your chicken adventure!!

Welcome to Backyard Chickens. I suggest you check out the "Silkie thread," for information on the breed and also breeders. Showgirls are another variety of silkies and I think children would get a special pleasure from their rather "exotic" appearance.

Thanks for the warm welcome! I’m really enjoying browsing through this site (especially using the app!). Will definitely check out the Silkies thread. Have a great weekend everyone!!
