Hello,

I am trying to find a good place to buy silkie eggs from? I want to hatch them with my children, and then raise them as pets.


Thanks

It depends what you want. Breeder silkies (such as those advertised on BYC and Ebay) tend to be far fluffier and more docile than the ones you get from the hatchery. On the other hand, you have more variety available when you go to the hatchery.

You may not care about bird quality (I personally prefer mutts over purebreds, and would happily go with hatchery stock, but that's just me.) If you do care, posting enough that you're able to buy on BYC (you need twenty posts) may be the route for you. Someone just advertised hatching eggs.

If you don't care whether the bird adheres to an arbitrary standard, hatcheries are great. Go hog-wild and order lots of different colour varieties!

There's also Ebay. I personally don't recommend it, unless they have a link to a website that isn't Ebay, and maybe a few people who say that they're selling what they say they're selling. Instead of, say, selling hatchery Barred Rocks under pictures of showbirds that they pulled off of the internet.
