Description:
Silkies are the lap dog of the chicken world, complete with hair-like plumage and an incredibly sweet temperament. They make the perfect outdoor pet for kids and families.
They were originally bred in China, where they are still kept (and eaten) today. They have black skin, bones, and 5 toes instead of the normal 4. In addition, Silkie hens make wonderful mothers and are even known to adopt baby ducks if given a chance! You will get a mix of bearded and non-bearded varieties with your Silkie order.
And according to a recent poll we conducted, Silkies are a favorite choice as a pet for children! When stacked up against super popular breeds like Orpingtons, Cochins, Brahmas, and Easter Eggers, they were a top choice.

Baby Chicks: White Silkie Bantam Female
I ordered a white, buff, and blue- the blue came with curled toes but MPC immediately refunded and offered great advice on how to help her- she is now our favorite and holds her own even though she is the smallest of the three! The girls are 3 months old now and incredibly friendly and beautiful! We ended up with 2 bearded and one not

Baby Chicks: White Silkie Bantam Female
I am so happy with our white silkie hen. She has the biggest pouf ball on her head, a nice muff and really nicely feathered feet. She is a gorgeous bird. We ordered six silkie hens from My Pet Chicken and they are all three months and no one is crowing, so I’m thinking everything was sexed correctly. Everybody was bearded exceptionally well except for our buff (which was exactly what I had hoped for!) They are all gorgeous birds. Service from MPC couldn’t have been any better. Well worth the wait for these beauties.

Baby Chicks: White Silkie Bantam Female
Although I love all of my chicks; I think this little girl stole my heart. She is my only bantam so I was worried about her being so small, but she just snuggles her way to the middle of the group. Very, very sweet and cuddly with humans as well.

Baby Chicks: White Silkie Bantam Female
I bought several MPC silkies, all sexed correctly as females. They are all super friendly (we love dressing them up and giving them baths when white ones need it!). They climb right into our laps. They started laying eggs at 20 weeks on the day, and are great layers of 4-5 eggs per week each! They have excellent feathering and poofs, the quality I had hoped for. Like all silkies, they tend to go broody, especially a couple in particular. However they stay gentle and friendly when I move them out of their nest and break easily. Love them dearly!

All 3 of my silkies that I received back in August have been very healthy and so sweet. Next time I order chickens I will definitely come back here!

Baby Chicks: White Silkie Bantam Female
I ordered one white and one black silkie, the black silkie died within 9 days and had an extremely vaulted skull... Now the only silkie left is the white one who thankfully doesn't have the vaulted skull but has a crossed beak. This has been really disheartening I could understand issues with shipping chicks but the genetic issues I wasn't prepared for. The other chicks are in good health so it's not nutrition or vitamin deficiency leading to these issues when it's just been problems with the silkies.

Baby Chicks: White Silkie Bantam Female
The biggest fluffiest chick, we named her Big Betsy, later somehow nicknamed Boots. Boots is so odd. The noises that come out of her are ungodly. She's also about as smart as a boot. But she survived the great hawk attack of 2022 with a quarter sized gash in her side. She didn't care one bit, literally no reaction, when we took her to the vet, got her stitches and antibiotics, and kept her as a house hen for a week as she recovered. What a girl. Truly remarkable.

Baby Chicks: White Silkie Bantam Female
I ordered 8 chicks and one of them was my little white silkie. She was supper friendly and sweet. So cute running to me whenever I would come to the run. She was my favorite baby. At around 3 months we had a hawk attack and unfortunately he killed her as she was not very quick as my other bantams. Seems silkies are very vulnerable to predators and as a first time chick mom I learned the hard way. I m heartbroken and once I have a better setup for my chickens I will consider getting a few silkies again.
