White Silkie Point of Lay Hens Reserve Now - Ready To Collect from 24th May

Product Description

Our White point-of-lay (POL) Silkie hens are now available to reserve now.. These elegant 17–18-week-old hens are fully vaccinated and bring a touch of charm and grace to any bantam flock. With their snowy white plumage and friendly nature, they are a delightful choice for keepers looking for ornamental and productive birds. White Silkies typically begin laying at around 24 weeks of age.

For a smoother transition when bringing new hens home, we highly recommend getting a poultry drink, something similar to this, (available on Amazon - or your local pet shop), when purchasing pure-breed chickens. Moving to a new home and flock can be stressful, and using a drink like this can make a real difference in helping them settle in by giving them a boost of energy and vitamins.

What We Offer

Breed: White Silkie – known for their pure white, fluffy feathers and calm temperament.
Point-of-Lay Hens: Healthy, vaccinated, and ready to join your flock.
Temperament: Peaceful and sociable, ideal for bantam-only flocks.

Why Choose White Silkie Hens?

Egg Production: Producing small, creamy eggs, White Silkies are valued for their reliable laying and low-maintenance care.
Natural Brooders: Renowned for their exceptional brooding instincts, White Silkies are often used to hatch eggs from their own breed or others.
Aesthetic Appeal: Their pristine white feathers and unique fluffy appearance make them standout birds in any flock.

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.
Outdoor Tolerance: Cold-tolerant but not suited to wet weather, White Silkies thrive best in covered, well-drained outdoor runs.
Feeding: Feed growers' pellets until 18 weeks, transitioning to layers' pellets to support egg production. Fresh greens and occasional treats can complement their diet.

Important Information

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.
Group Size: Keep in groups of at least three for a happy, sociable flock.
Collection: Bring a box/ dog crate on when collecting to take your bird home.
