Mixed Silkie Special Chickens are named for their unique fluffy plumage, which feels like silk. They have several unusual qualities, such as black skin and bones, blue earlobes, and five toes on each foot. Calm and friendly and the most docile of poultry, they make an ideal pet. Hens are broody, and make good mothers. Though they are fair layers themselves, they are commonly used to hatch eggs from other breeds. Discover all of the breeds of baby chicks for sale today.

Not enough variety of colors

4 days ago
While I love my chickens and they are all alive and healthy… I wouldn’t order the ‘mixed bag’ again. Mainly because I was expecting mixed colors and I got all white and one little grey speckled bearded silkie. Needless to say, she’s my favorite. Try naming and recognizing 9 white chickens 🐓

Yes, I would order again. Great Experience!

8 days ago
I was skeptical about mail order chicks and honestly scared to open the box for fear of a dead chick. These are a project for my daughter's Ag class. The chicks came in super fast! These babies were mailed out on Tuesday and we had them by noon on Wednesday. The packaging was solid (reinforced cardboard and plastic banding and hearty nesting material). Gave them electrolytes and silkie chick feed starter. They are eating, drinking, growing, and already working on their pecking order. Hopefully we have more hens than roos:D.

Yes, I recommend this product.
