“My husband and I have 4 silkies now all adults from MPC and ordered 6 more from MPC for late August delivery 2020 for different colors. We just love these little birds stand up for themselves in mixed flock of some big birds we have. They do go broody want to hatch out any eggs left behind.
They don't bat a eye fearless run right under the big birds little road runners and use big birds as their blankets in winter, like a chick is so funny to see go under big birds wings. Big birds don't seem to mind them, I see 0 fighting go on. They lay a steady batch of small light cream eggs. Really enjoy these little characters first out when the door opens to go out in morning into their big fenced in yard so fun to watch run.”
“Miss Deluxe is already an athletic puffball of sass. She‚Äôs bright, curious, the first in her flock to learn to smash dried mealworms against the ground with her beak in order to eat them. She does this with great abandon, sending fragments flying, to the delight of her ‚Äúsisters‚Äù who are only too happy to let her do the heavy lifting.
She looks a little like a dust bunny come peevishly to life, and while she’s the smallest in her flock, when she’s wound up, she’s got a peep that reverberates like a metal chair scraping against a tile floor. She’s supersonic and often indignant, but then the moment passes and she’s back to staring at me quizzically, sizing up my head.
She almost certainly won‚Äôt be the leader, but she won‚Äôt be anybody‚Äôs doormat either. She‚Äôs an adorable minor menace, and she seems to have no idea just how charming she is, which makes her even more charming. I‚Äôm smitten with her.”
“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 black Silkie is a beauty too!”
“I bought 3 blue/black/splash girls in June. All arrived healthy and are full grown and doing great. My black silkie, Negan, was the first to start laying, about a month ago, and they are all laying now which is great! She is like a giant black cotton ball, with the beard and everything. I will be honest, Negan is not as bright as some chickens, but we don't mind. They can't all be rocket scientists, right? She tends to wander off and gets lost now and again, which is hilarious because we are in the city and she literally can't get lost, she just thinks that she is. She's on the dramatic side too, but again, you have to have one, right? My little cochin used to be the one screaming her head off (the sky is falling!), but Negan has her even beat. She's the perfect mix of adorable and quirky. My other two are much more level headed, but this review is about Negan! Another shout out to the fact that MPC is the only place i have found that sells them sexed, and they actually get it right! I have ordered 5 from them and every one has been a girl which is amazing.”
