Blue Silkies

Both China and Japan claim the origin of these unique bantams and historians have traced them back to Marco Polo. Their black skin and feathers that feel much like hair make them one of our most unusual varieties of chickens. Our Silkies come both bearded and non-bearded and are tremendous setters on all types of eggs. They have all of the qualities of the other silkies but will vary in feather color. Approximatley 50% will be black, white, and black/white combinations. (Please see "The Color Blue" under Blue Andalusians for a description of our Blue Silkies chicks.)
