Why Choose White Silkie Hens?

Care Instructions for White Silkie Hens

  • Housing Requirements: Provide dry, secure housing with low perches, ensuring a draught-free environment. As their feathers lack water resistance, dry conditions are vital.

  • Feeding: Feed growers' pellets until 18 weeks, transitioning to layers' pellets to support egg production. Fresh greens and occasional treats can complement their diet.

  • Flock Compatibility: White Silkies are gentle birds and thrive in bantam-only flocks. They are not recommended for mixing with hybrid or larger breeds due to their docile nature.
  • Vaccination: Fully vaccinated for their health and your peace of mind.
