Silkie Eggs for Sale

Get to Know the Attractive, Sweet Silkie

If you’re thinking of hatching your own Silkie chicken eggs, you might be wondering what the result will be after all the hatching excitement is over. The good news is that once the last Silkie chick has hatched, the fun is just beginning. These adorable little chickens are prized for their show quality, but you’ll also enjoy their companionship, amusement, and eggs.

“Kittens of the Barnyard”

Silkies are renowned for their temperaments. They’re docile and interactive, often called the “kitten of the barnyard” or the “poodles of the chicken world.” This fact, coupled with their small size (8 to 14 inches tall, 3 to 4 pounds), can make them targets for bigger, more aggressive chickens—so keep that in mind when adding them to your flock.

A Colorful, Ancient Breed

Derived from an age-old Chinese breed, Silkie Bantam Chickens come in blue, black, gray, white, buff, partridge, and splash. However, our silkie hatching eggs only come in white. For a midnight beauty, add Black Diamond hatching eggs to your cart! Another unique feature is their coloring under all that soft plumage. They have blue earlobes and black skin! Even their bones are black! Silkies’ feet are either yellow or black and have five toes—as opposed to the typical four that other chickens have.

Egg Laying, Brooding, and Mothering

Now, let’s talk eggs. Silkies only lay about three small to medium eggs per week, so they’re not notable in that area. They do, however, excel in incubating eggs. Their strong brooding instinct adds value to barnyards since they’ll sit on eggs that don’t even belong to them. And once those eggs are hatched, they make great mothers, too.

Our Silkie Hatching Eggs Guarantee

We guarantee that our Silkie eggs for sale arrive intact. When you open the box, inspect the eggs carefully. If any are cracked or broken, contact us immediately. We will replace any that have been damaged.

Now for hatching rate. Even under perfect incubation conditions, only 80-85% of fertilized eggs will hatch. In addition to fluctuating temperatures and potential rough handling in shipment, you can expect a percentage that is a bit lower than that. For these reasons, we suggested ordering 20% more of our silkie chicken eggs than you would like to ensure you get the right number of chicks for your flock. Be advised that these conditions don’t just apply to our egg orders, but would happen with orders from any hatchery. Please contact us with any questions about the hatchability of our silkie eggs for sale.
