Where to buy a SQ pair

[Thehappyheifer]

I am looking for a sq silkie pair, I'm looking to spend $500-$1000. Could anyone point me in a good direction? Do I need to spend more?

Pam Blake at Sensational Silkies by Blake has some nice ones. She lives in Connecticut.

Shari Mccollough aka Harvest Breeze Farms has really good ones

Hi go to the American poultry association website. look up the master exhibitors list and the Hall of Fame breeders list. cross reference them . find silkie breeders that are on both of them and start looking around. Best,
Karen

My thoughts exactly.

I'm not sure putting a price on a forum is the way to go. 3rivers has it right, do a little leg work.

Go to a poultry show and pick up a trio of good birds. Don't throw down money sight unseen. That just stinks of desperation or scam.

Firstly, I'm not trying to scam anyone. How would I scam someone if I'm going to pay them?
Secondly, if I was indeed desperate I'd purchase the first thing that I came across. I have done,"the leg work", I'm just looking for suggestions on top of that. Maybe, someone could point me in a direction that would better suit me. I've done nothing, but research, plan and agonize for months .

The only reason I want to do this is to get me out of my comfort zone and hopefully help with my severe gad; I need something that forces me to actually interact with people; otherwise, I'd be fine with my pq. So, far the chickens have given me something else to focus on and it has helped.
Price doesn't matter, but that's what I can afford for the time being. Truthfully , I may get them and never take them off my farm if I can't work up enough courage, but either way I'm fine with it.
I posted pricing ,because I'd like to trust people not to scam me and ideally I'd see the bird/s before buying, unless it was a reputable breeder, then again hoping I could trust that person.
I also only posted pricing , because most people don't want to pay more than pocket change and I'm not one of those people.
