“I ordered 8 chicks and one of them was my little white silkie. She was supper friendly and sweet. So cute running to me whenever I would come to the run. She was my favorite baby. At around 3 months we had a hawk attack and unfortunately he killed her as she was not very quick as my other bantams. Seems silkies are very vulnerable to predators and as a first time chick mom I learned the hard way. I m heartbroken and once I have a better setup for my chickens I will consider getting a few silkies again.”
“Well.. what can I say! I took a 50/50 chance at getting straight run and ended up with another Rooster! He‚Äôs Just adorable though! And already sneaking in mating with some hens !shhh we won‚Äôt tell the Salmon Faverolles or the barred Rock! But I can‚Äôt wait to see what mix I will get out of my Silkies Roosters! Turn the page! Lol”
“I ordered 5 chicks (2 white silkies, 1 lavender Orpington and 2 speckled Sussex) from MPC and all arrived safe and healthy. They are all beautiful, sweet and social birds but the silkies are everyone‚Äôs favorite. They are unbelievably adorable and well-behaved. We brought them inside when one hurt her leg and when it got very cold and they were so quiet and neat. They don‚Äôt knock their food or water over like the others. They were also the first to start laying beautiful, petite white/pink eggs. They are at the bottom of the pecking order so I check in on them often to make sure they are okay. A must have.”
“My order included two white silkie bantams. They are SO sweet and pretty. Extremely calm and go to sleep in my lap. I am ridiculously attached, as much as any dog I have had. I have 6 and 8 yr old girls and they allow themselves to be caught and handled by them just as easily. Love them!”
“Review by Anonymous User I ordered 4 chicks, 3 Silkies and one Sultan. On Monday evening around 6:00 pm I received notice that the chicks had shipped, and my post office called me at 9:00 a.m. the next morning to let me know they‚Äôd arrived. The chicks were all in terrific shape! Three days later they are healthy and happy little puff balls of joy! My white Silkie is a tiny delight!”
“I got my first batch of chickens almost 4 years ago and my Silkie is still around and doing wonderfully! She goes broody quite easily and her eggs are tiny, but she has been a consistent layer the whole time! My chickens are all going through a pretty tough molt right now and my Silkie has been consistently laying 4-5 eggs per week!”
“Arrived healthy! And still doing well after 4 weeks! The 3 silkies I ordered were very shy at first but have become very sweet and cuddly! No beard on my white or buff but my blue splash does. They are all beautiful”
