We select only the best Silkie roosters and offer a variety of colours to be included into our breeding program, we selectively breed to our silkie hens throughout the year.  We carefully hand pick and rotate our roosters on set schedules to  promote and produce beautiful chicks. Our Silkie chick colours include the following: blue, black, splash, silver, paint, white, Lavender partridge and may include mixed colouration with buff, silver or white highlights.  We also offer specific colour breeding's upon request and can arrange to pair off our birds in separate pens to ensure the desired colour. These requests are offered during our spring/summer breeding programs only.

Did you know, Silkies are one of the first breeds of chicken to have been admitted to the APA Standard of Perfection in 1874. Silkies originated in Asia, most likely in China, however, their specific source is a mystery. Marco Polo wrote about them as early as the 1400s. Silkies are known to be extremely docile, their ornamental plumage makes them a show stopper in any flock! 

Silkies are generally good layers, but don’t lay continuously like some other, more popular barnyard birds, laying an average of approximately three eggs a week. Silkies are commonly used to hatch eggs from other breeds and bird species due to their reputation as being “boody birds”, they are naturally great at hatching. Silkies thrive in warm climates where heavier breeds might suffer. The breed has several other unusual qualities, such as dark blue flesh and bones, blue earlobes, and five toes on each foot (most chickens only have four). Silkies are well suited for children and new bird owners because they are naturally affectionate.
