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.

2 arrived dead and 1 more died within 2 hrs. This is my 2bd set of silkies, no way to contact anyone about replacing the chicks. Our 1st order 2 passed within a couple hours and one was born with a defect but doing healthy.

I got 10 silkie chicks and in less that 24 hrs after getting home, the all died. I only use heat lamps, not plates in my brooder. Fresh water and food and still died fast! I sent an email about a refund but haven't heard anything.
