Experience the charm and variety of Assorted Silkie Bantam chicks from Privett Hatchery. These fluffy darlings are an eclectic mix, hand-selected on the day of shipment, ensuring a delightful surprise in every order.

Key Features:

  • Visual Traits: The assortment includes a Hatchery's choice of colors such as Black, Blue, Buff, or White. This selection is drawn from both bearded and non-bearded varieties, offering a delightful range of Silkie characteristics and plumage.
  • Egg Production: While Silkie Bantams are treasured more for their ornamental appeal and mothering skills than for their egg production, they provide a modest supply of small, tinted eggs.
  • Primary Purpose: Perfect as pets for their docile nature, Silkies are also prized in shows for their unique look, and as broody hens, they are unparalleled in their nurturing abilities.
  • Temperament and Leg Type: Known for their gentle and friendly demeanor, these birds exhibit feathered legs, contributing to their distinctive and adorable appearance.
  • Climate Hardiness: Silkies are resilient in a variety of climates, though their unique feathering requires careful management to keep them dry and comfortable, particularly in very wet or muddy conditions.

  • Purpose: Ornamental/Pet/Broody Mothers
  • Leg Type: Feathered
