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.
As a reminder, to help ensure a safe arrival to you, the minimum number of chicks for each order prior to April 1st is 25. On and after April 1st, the minimum number of chicks required is 15. You can mix and match any type of baby chick in your order to reach the applicable chick minimum order. If ordering any bantams, we require a minimum of 15 bantams per order.

Questions & Answers
I want to get 4 or 5 bantam pullets that would be brood hens. When must I place an order to get these early next spring?
The bantams are not sexed. We require a minimum of 15 for shipping and they will start hatching in April of next year. You can place an order for 2016 starting in November.
