White Silkies
The first pair of silkies I got was about 3 1/2 years ago, and I have been hooked ever since. These are fabulous little birds, sweet and gentle, and very photogenic!! I am now raising White, Buff, Splash and Blue.
Breeding is going strong with the whites this year so should have some tremendous stock to sell and show. My white pullet I hatched out last year won Grand Champion of the show at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado at 7 months old out of over 500 birds!
Pictures below are of the first pair I ever got. The hen passed away this past winter but I have wonderful birds from matings I have done in the past to fall back on. My breeding white male now is Frosty, from another breeder altogether, and Tusk, pictured below, has his own little harem of different colored girls and I am not hatching any of their eggs at this time.
I only sell started silkies and prices for Pet Quality Silkies vary. Pet quality means there will probably be some kind of fault that would prevent them from being shown, such as a 6th toe or missing a toe altogether, poor toe separation, etc. Whatever I happen to not want to keep.
Show Quality means no faults at all that I can tell. I will sell show quality silkies on rare occasions, and they will be listed on Eggbid, in pairs only. Show Quality birds will be rare as I plan on keeping most of them to base my flock on this year. I have hatched 30+ White Silkie Chicks so far this year and some will be pet quality. Check with me for availability.

This was SnowPea
This is Frosty, look at how wide his tail is- Frosty is no longer being shown, nor breeding at this time, but will be replaced by one of his sons.
This is my pride and joy- my girl that won Champion of Show at the National Western Stock Show at 7 months old!!
These are some of the offspring from this year. Most chicks came from my Grand Champion Winner, though some did not. The other hen I have came from a private breeder (same as Frosty) who does NOT show.
