Assorted Silkie Bantams

Silkies are named for their unique fluffy plumage, which is said to feel like silk. This breed has several other unusual qualities, such as black skin and bones, blue earlobes, and five toes on each foot. Silkies are well known for their calm, friendly temperament. Among the most docile of poultry, Silkies are considered an ideal pet. Hens are exceptionally broody and make good mothers. Though they are fair egg layers themselves, laying about three eggs a week, they are commonly used to hatch eggs from other breeds and bird species. Silkies are only sold in assorted colors, and we do not guarantee any colors in assortments. APPROX. 100 SMALL EGGS/YEAR|EGG COLOR: LIGHT BROWN |MATURE WEIGHT: 2-3 LBS.|COMB: ROSE COMB
