Gold Silkie Point of Lay Hens From 1st February 2025

Product Description

Our Gold point-of-lay (POL) Silkie hens are now available to reserve and collect from 1st February 2025. These fully vaccinated 17–18-week-old hens are a stunning choice for any small bantam flock, with their eye-catching golden plumage and gentle disposition. Typically, they will begin laying creamy eggs at around 24 weeks of age.

What We Offer

Breed: Gold Silkie – admired for their soft, golden feathers and friendly temperament.
Point-of-Lay Hens: Fully vaccinated, healthy, and ready to settle into your flock.
Temperament: Calm and sociable, making them well-suited to small, harmonious bantam flocks.

Why Choose Gold Silkie Hens?

Egg Production: Laying fewer but beautiful creamy eggs, Gold Silkies are an elegant and practical addition to your flock.
Broody Nature: Their strong maternal instincts make them excellent mothers for hatching their own eggs or those of other poultry.
Aesthetic Appeal: With their striking golden feathering and fluffy crests, Gold Silkies add both charm and uniqueness to your setup.

Care Instructions for Gold Silkie Hens

Housing Requirements: Dry, draught-free housing is essential, as their feathers are not water-resistant. Provide low perches for their limited flying ability.
Outdoor Tolerance: While hardy in cold weather, Gold Silkies dislike wet conditions. Ensure outdoor runs are covered and well-drained to keep them dry and comfortable.
Feeding: Growers' pellets are suitable until 18 weeks, after which they can transition to layers' pellets to support egg production. Fresh greens and treats can be given occasionally.

Important Information

Flock Compatibility: Best kept with other bantams, as Silkies are gentle and may be bullied by larger or more assertive breeds.
Vaccination: All hens are fully vaccinated, ensuring they are healthy and ready for their new home.
Group Size: Keeping Silkies in groups of at least three is recommended to ensure social happiness.
Collection: Available for collection only from 1st February 2025.

Reserve your Gold Silkie hens today to bring beauty, charm, and calm productivity to your bantam flock. Explore our range of Silkie chicks and fertile hatching eggs to grow your flock further.
