Hello everyone, I’m a chicken mom here in Arizona, and I’m looking to grow my tiny flock -or should I just say couple? - of two.
I’m having issues with finding even just a single silkie hen! Does anyone have any advice or know where I can find silkie females, either in AZ or online? And also, I’ve looked into silkie FB groups and got kicked out of some saying that selling/trading chickens is against Fb guidelines so yeah …oops!
SOME BACKGROUND:
I have posted before asking about the possible gender of my silkie chicks. Now that they are 4 months old, we know that we have a rooster and a hen. I added pics for reference, the black one is the roo and they are the cutest couple!
The place we got them from offers to take back any roosters and trade for another baby chick, but that’s not going to work for me since I fall in love with my babies. Therefore I’m keeping my rooster, and I’m trying my hardest to find more girls for him.
Sadly, all the places that have silkies (that I’ve been able to find here in Arizona) use the same system of selling unsexed chicks, and taking roosters back etc.
If anyone has any advice or even ideas of where I can look that would be much appreciated. Even someone trying to re-home or anything like that, I am open as long as the chicken is old enough to guarantee that she’s a hen, and not another rooster.
My email is [email protected] in case anyone has serious business inquiries! Thank you
