McMurray Hatchery Buff Silkie Bantam

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 buff colored with the same black skin of the other silkie varieties, and mulberry comb, face, and wattles. These are fairly rare and we have a limited supply of them.
