“Okay, so I got a blue (mine is a full blue, not black or splash) and she is the cutest! She‚Äôs a little spacey and is lowest in pecking order but she doesn‚Äôt seem to notice or care. She is SO fluffy and likes to snuggle. All 3 of my silkies from MPC were sexed correctly and all 3 are laying (5 eggs a week) at 24 weeks! I couldn‚Äôt be happier!”
“So sweet such a little cotton ball so tiny but so sweet needs special attention around the bigger breed babies but holds her own and is paring well with the jubilee orpington !”
“The only reason I gave 3 stars is because my chickens are all healthy and alive one year later but they do not have nearly the amount of fluff that these photos show. Im assuming the quality is not as good? All 4 of my silkies have more like short mohawks rather than pompom shapes.. their rumps are also not at all fluffy and have a couple of "straw-like" tail feathers.”
“I ordered 20 bantams, 3 are blue silkies. I got 2 blue and a splash couldn‚Äôt be happier. I live in Colorado and the chicks shipped Monday and I got them Wednesday morning. Everyone doing great! Love your company friendly staff.”
“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 blue Silkie is truly blue and such a fluffy sweetheart!”
“Received my 2 blue silkies this morning. Although I can‚Äôt tell for sure yet which I got but I believe one is a splash and the other a blue or black. My girls arrived healthy and happy! I love them so much already! Thank you for my beautiful new girls!!!”
“Our order was 5 silkies and 1 du uccle.
I was able to get just one female blue/splash silkie . She is for sure a she , the runt of the group .
When she first came in she looked off white and a grey’ish head . No a single spot on her and other than her head ..no signs of blue ! But as time went on her pretty coloring came in. Mabel has a pretty color pattern , just like the stock photo with a more grey tone to it . I’m super happy with the coloring .
As for the feathers ? Her butt is fluffy but you can tell she’s not going to have that classic poof ball head/look we all know silkies can have . Not the desired feathering.
She’s obviously not show quality and her feathering is worse than pet quality .
Mabel is the most Spazzy least friendly chicken I’ve ever owned . I’ve calmly worked with her one on one since a few days old and she’s the same .
Three of the birds she came with had health issues , two died , one loves with the eye condition she came with. The company did nothing when I contacted them about it .
I paid high price for all females and three out of 6 were males ! One of the males I don’t even think was from the same hatch date .
All of the silkies we got from my pet chicken aren’t very friendly . We got some really fabulous looking silkies from a good breeder and those babies are SO good looking and sweet !
If you want a good investment of good looking chooks , just go with a quality breeder with healthy parents .”
