Silkies

Silkies are one of the most popular Bantam varieties and for great reasons! They make amazing pets, especially for homes with young children, and are known for their sweet personalities and poofy feathers. Silkies love becoming mothers and take great care of their chicks. Meyer Hatchery offers multiple color varieties of Silkies, including blue, black, white, splash, and cuckoo. You can also select sexed, female-only options, perfect for those who cannot risk having a rooster. Silkies lay around 120 small eggs per year and integrate well with other breeds. Check out our Silkie Breed Overview on our YouTube Channel.

Silkies are offered seasonally and Meyer Hatchery can ship as few as 3 chicks during the months of April thru November. Meyer Hatchery now includes a free 25-dose packet of GroGel with orders of 3+ chicks, excluding free shipping chick orders, to help give your new flock the best start possible.
