Before you reach out about our bearded silkies, please read this entirely! Most birds will be listed as either pet quality or breeding quality. Pet quality juveniles/grow outs that are uns*xed will usually be priced $25 due to flaws that prevent them from being selected for our breeding/show program. For clarity, pet quality silkies may have incorrect number of toes or a straight comb which are no
t within the “standard of perfection” for the breed. This will usually be something I list in the ad. Breeding quality birds will be higher priced due to their good qualities that may benefit a breeding program. So please be aware when you reach out, and keep your budget in mind so we do not waste each other’s time. You can expect my s*xed breeder quality birds to sell for $50+ for cockerels or $60+ for pullets. Newly hatched chicks are priced at $15 until 4-weeks-old at which point they go up $5. So, expect a 6-week-old or older uns*xed chick to be $20. Also note, I generally only sell chicks at hatch that are pet quality (generally those with missing or extra toes or pigment holes). You can still expect my pet quality birds to be that “nice fluffy type” (big crests and cushions) everyone loves as that is what I breed for! However, with standard of perfection in mind, certain things are cause for DQ right off the bat. I hold on to most chicks to grow out and see how they develop before selling them. If you are looking for silkie chicks, also be aware THEY SELL AS STRAIGHT RUN. You cannot s*x silkies the way you can some other breeds. I’m fact, most silkies are so difficult to s*x it may not be 100% certain until it either crows or lays an egg! Generally, I tell people you should not try to s*x a bird until at least 5-6 months. DNA tests can be done but they are pricy, and from my research, the cost of doing DNA testing does not offset itself on my end. Unless you are buying an older grown out bird, I will not be able to tell you the s*x. Please don’t contact me asking for pullets only as I generally will not have lone pullets available. Most pullets will be sold with a cockerel of your choosing. Additionally, I cannot sell single chicks as it is very important to me that my birds thrive regardless whether I keep them with me or not, and selling just one chick without a friend is not fair to that chick and it will not thrive. Silkie hatching eggs are periodically available for $60/doz. I will post when my incubators are full and this will be first come first serve. Eggs must be paid for up front before I begin collection. I do not ship eggs. We are NPIP and AI clean, we will ship grow-outs and adult birds March-June and September-November. Shipping is usually around $100 (depending on location) plus $20 for a biosecure shipping box. I also have large to extra large eating eggs available from my rainbow � layers. They are $5/doz and collected daily from our very loved and spoiled mixed flock of large fowl hens. I feed them and keep my yard 100% organic and ensure they get the highest quality nutrition which in turn, makes my eating eggs much healthier and higher in omegas then most others!
