Black Silkies

Availability

Both China and Japan claim the origin of these unique bantams and historians have traced them back to Marco Polo. Their black skin and feathers that feel much like hair make them one of our most unusual varieties of chickens. Our Silkies come both bearded and non-bearded and are tremendous setters on all types of eggs. They are small bundles of all black hair-like feathers with a mulberry colored comb, face, and wattles. The ear lobes are a light blue turquoise and the skin is dark bluish/black.

I ordered 30 assorted chicks last week, and I am so impressed with the quality of my chicks and the speed of delivery. All of my chicks were healthy and beautiful! My order was VERY affordable and I didn't have to sacrifice quality for price. Thank you so much. I will definitely come to you again for future orders. Good job guys!

I have some Black Silkie hens and roosters, they are austounding birds! They are excellent layers and setters, and by far the gentlest birds in the coop! What a great breed!

We have enjoyed our silkies and our assortment of baby chicks . we babysit 2 girls ages 3 and 7 and they are so excited to go feed the baby chicks and watch them grow. it is teaching them responisbility in a real fun way. thanks! the chandler family.

Did You Know?

Did you know that chicks, just before they hatch, draw into their adomen the yolk of the egg? Rich in food value and liquid, the yolk provides the newly-hatched chick with all it needs to eat and drink for over 3 days. That is why we can hatch chicks here, ship them to you , and know that they will be well provided for along the way.
