“I didn't actually receive the silked white easter egger we ordered! We received a green queen bantam easter egger instead, and I adore her. (The system is still forcing me to write this review in order to submit the other reviews I wrote on chicks I actually did receive.)”
We are sorry that you did not receive the male that you had ordered and hope you received the refund check that we mailed to you in an effort to make this error as right as possible under the sexing error guarantee. The guarantee covers all of our customers in the event that a mistake is made. We hope that you are happy with your girls as they must be very much so with you, providing you with those beautiful eggs! Again, we are sorry for the sexing error and hope that you will let us know if you have any questions or concerns about your flock. We are here to help!
“I love my silked easter egger! She is very sweet, and lays blue eggs. But, I think MPC should not say that they are "large fowl". Mine is most definitely bantam and lays bantam sized eggs. Saying they are large fowl is very misleading.”
We are so happy to hear that you love your silked white easter egger girl! They are a favorite amongst customers as well as our own Flock Care Specialists because of, not only their beautiful eggs and appearance, but also their wonderful personalities. We indicate "large fowl" for their size in the general "widgets" as they are not "bantams" but are a smaller sized standard hen. Because of their genetic mix of Silkies and Easter Eggers, their eggs won't be as large as a Barred Rock or a larger size standard Easter Egger, for example - but will still be larger than a bantam's eggs once she matures. Your little one's eggs should become a bit larger over time as she matures. In the more descriptive area of the breed on their page, we try to let customers know that they will be smaller than a typical Easter Egger since they do have Silkie blood in their genes. We hope this is helpful and invite you to reach out to us if you would like to ask any further questions or have any concerns. We are always happy to help!
The Silked White Easter Eggers are fantastic! They are a favorite of many Flock Care Specialists here at My Pet Chicken as well! We appreciate you letting us know your little one is bringing you happiness and hope we can help you with any of your flock care needs in the future!
“Very happy. I got two silked easter Eggers (female). I had them DNA tested for both gender and blue egg gene and both of my chicks came back as female with a O/O for blue eggs. They are incredibly healthy and quite adorable. One has a crest and beard and the other just has a crest. They are less sweet than my silkies, but still quite sweet. They are now 10 weeks old.”
“Winifred "Winnie" is beautiful. I love watching her interact with the other chicks I ordered. She has no idea she is small She is four weeks now and still so spunky!”
“My little silked Easter Egger will be 4 weeks old on 5/27 and I couldn’t be any happier. She is MUCH smaller than my other chicks but is healthy and keeps up. She also jumps into my hand! I grab the others when moving them for cleanings and she just hops in my hand like a it’s cup. She’s got black skin, an extra toe, silked feathering coming in, and a pom pom on her head. I got her + 2 other Easter Eggers from my pet chicken and they made it to me on Wednesday morning after being shipped Monday.”
