Gentle, unique, and full of personality

Our Silkies chicks, pullets, and hens are perfect for keepers looking for calm, friendly birds with a truly unique appearance. Known for their soft, fur-like feathers and sweet personalities, Silkies are one of the most loved breeds for families and backyard flocks.

To add a little extra variety, our group also includes one Polish hen, occasionally producing Polkie eggs, giving you the chance to hatch a few distinctive crossbred chicks with fun crests and added character.

About Silkies (and Polkie Crosses)

Nurturing birds with standout charm

Silkies are an ancient breed originally from Asia, prized for their gentle nature and strong broody instincts. Chicks grow into fluffy juveniles before maturing into soft-feathered adults with dark skin, feathered feet, and a calm, almost pet-like temperament.

Hens typically lay 100–150 small cream eggs per year, but are especially valued for their ability to sit and hatch eggs — making them ideal natural mothers.

With the addition of a Polish hen, you may also see occasional Polkie offspring, combining Silkie softness with the Polish breed’s signature crest — a fun bonus for those interested in unique backyard birds.

Why Choose Our Silkies

Raised for temperament, health, and character

Our Silkie chicks, pullets, and hens are raised from carefully selected stock known for their gentle nature, strong health, and classic fluffy appearance. Birds are well-handled and accustomed to people, making them easy to integrate into family environments.

By choosing live birds, you can skip incubation and enjoy raising affectionate, low-maintenance chickens right away — with the added bonus of occasional Polkie genetics for something a little different.

"Perfect for families and backyard companions. gentle, fluffy birds that bring warmth, personality, and a touch of uniqueness to every flock."

What To Expect

From Fertile Egg to Hen

Silkie chicks are soft, curious, and easy to handle, growing into calm, friendly birds that enjoy human interaction. Pullets mature into gentle hens that often go broody, while adults become reliable companions in any flock.

With their quiet nature and small size, Silkies are ideal for smaller spaces and mixed flocks. The occasional Polkie chickadds an extra layer of fun, bringing a mix of fluffy feathers and crested personality to your backyard.
