Silkie Bantam Straight Run

Silkies are true bantams, which are miniature chickens that lack full sized counterpart, and are known for their unique featheres and docile nature. The feathers of Silkies closely resemble  a boa, or a featherduster. 
 
Our remaining Silkies hatched in March and are unsexed. Most of our currently availible birds are White, Blue or Splash.
 
For those lacking an incubator and hoping to hatch their own chickens, Silkies tend to go broody and often make great mothers. However, ther docile nature may leave them more prone to being picked on and extra care should be taken when introducing them to previously established flocks. We've found they get get along best with other bantams and more gentle breeds like Orpingtons, Brahmas, Speckled Sussex and Polish.
 
We have several other breeds of bantams that will be added mid March and availible for our Open Coop Days/Hen Sales and for our "Early Birds".
