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.

Drunk Ordering Silky Chickens

23 days ago
My neighbor and I ordered these after a few margaritas. We had never received mail order chickens. So we did it… All chickens showed up healthy and alive! Shipping was fast. Took about 2-3 weeks for them to ship, but they ship when they hatch. Very happy, 10/10 would get drunk and order chickens from tractor supply again.

Bad Chick order

a month ago
I order 10 silkie chicks and received all 10, however they started dying one by one as the days went on, in the end I only got to have 2 out of the 10. I also wanted to add that one of the chicks came with a missing eye and crooked beak whom eventually died as well.
