Please note - If you are collecting outside shop opening hours please add our purpose made transport boxes to your basket as hens will be boxed up and placed in the Click & Collect building (3 medium hens can be fitted in one box @ £2.95 each).
Pure Breeds - We only tend to sell pure breeds in pairs (or with other pure breeds of a similar age) unless there are exceptional circumstances as they are very prone to being bullied. Pure breeds are slower growing and at this age wouldn't be suitable to mix with hybrids or older birds but would need to be kept separate and very slowly introduced when older. They will require a grower feed until around 20/25+ weeks old.
Silkies are generally sweet little hens. They make good pets but care needs to be taken when mixing them with other breeds as they can be bullied. Generally they are only suitable to mix with other Silkies or smaller bantams.
They are prone to going broody and make excellent mothers. As their feathers are barb-less (which makes them look fluffy!), they are not at all water proof so always make sure they have shelter from the rain.
We have them in a variety of colours.
