Chickens Ark Smallholding of USA Silkies. Hatching eggs, chicks and adult birds available to purchase throughout the whole year.
(4)

Chickens Ark unknowingly started in 2019 when we purchased 4 Silkies for our garden when we googled "Funny looking Chickens" and saw these little fluff balls on the screen. During the lockdown of 2020 we decided to expand and on the farm I grew up on we repaired an old shed which was used by my great granddad for chickens and added an outdoor run. We then started buying eggs to incubate and have s

lowly grown our flock, we are now at a point where we have 3 lovely well natured cockerels and nearly 30 fluffy hens which have the luxury of wandering the fields and a fancy new roofed run for when the weather isn't the best. We are more than happy to help people wanting to start their own back garden flock by supplying hatching eggs, full grown hens at point of lay and we can even provide DNA sexed chicks so you know exactly what you are getting. We can also supply eggs straight from the coop to your table. Silkie's eggs are lovely to eat, they're a little smaller than shop bought eggs but they make fantastic golden cakes, yorkshire puddings and work great on the side of any meal.

Question…

My little satin frizzle has turned out to be a boy and I’m thinking of adding him to my main flock when big enough, my question is would you still buy USA Silkie eggs with the chance of satins, satin frizzles and frizzled silkies appearing in the incubator? 🐣

First time giving these chicks some boiled egg, honestly they go crazy for it and it’s got so many vitamins and minerals in there which helps them grow and also prevents wry neck 🥚

I try not to get involved with the hatching process, but it’s coming to an end now and this was last one zipping but no progress in 12hrs (pipped 36hrs ago), so he needed a little help.

Chick absolutely fine, all yolk absorbed, safely back in the incubator to fluff up 🐣

Last week we rehomed 12 commercial laying hens from Fresh Start For Hens, they’re only a year old but unfortunately that’s as old as hens get on the commercial laying farms and was destined to become pet food, so we gave them a new home.

It’s amazing to see how quickly they’ve taken to the free range lifestyle, I was so happy to see them running across the field to greet me tonight, hopefully they now have many happy years ahead of them.
