Silkies are the epitome of pet chicken--they are small, fluffy, cuddly, and super friendly. Silkies are certainly one of the most unique chickens. Silkies are not great layers, but what they lack in laying abilities, they make up for in broodiness and cuteness. Silkies have a walnut comb, are heat tolerant, and have black skin. They also stand apart with their feathered legs, feet, and 5 toes. These miniature chickens will not disappoint! Meyer Hatchery's Silkies are a mix of bearded and non-bearded and will lay cream-colored eggs. You will receive at least 2 different color varieties from our Silkie offerings.
Average weight: roosters 36 oz, hens 32 oz.
