I want to start rasing silkie because there crowing aren't as loud as a RIR. I just seems that no one sells silkie. do anyone knows where i can order some?
Depends on what you're looking for. Hatching eggs? Chicks? Started juveniles/pairs? Do you want to buy local or ship? You want pet quality or higher? I get a lot of my eggs/chicks from Bobbi Porto at www.indigoegg.us She has nice birds and lives near me. Hopefully I will be able to sell my own when they get a little older.
Quote:I am looking for a black yard flock ones. nothing too costly lol. and a black skin is a must. something unique about that that i just love lol
do you want to hatch your own or buy chicks? I have pet quality silkies that I've been hatching just to test out my bator without paying a bunch and messing up expensive eggs. They have black skin, 5 toes, some have vaulted skulls. They are all blue. Where are you located?
I ordered six silkies from My Pet Chicken, and believe it or not, they were all sexed correctly. They are very sweet, pretty little hens that lay cute little eggs Good luck!
Everyone seems to have Silkies, just never near or cheap enough. I drove a total of 220miles for my birds, after searching for months, lol.
Check cackle hatchery, they have decent quality. Mine are all black skinned and five toed. They had buff, black and white when I got mine.
I just got some in my bantam special from Ideal. They were only .99 cents, but I also got a ton of game hens that I don't really want.
i visited a feed store last week, and i walked in to TONS of silkie chicks... i had to get three. only 2.50/ea. it was a wonderful surprise
