Silkie Chickens
As well as breeding Huacaya Alpacas and Nigerian Dwarf Goats, Gumnut Valley also has Silkie chickens. With their compact size, placid temperament, quirky personalities and fluffy mop tops, they are the perfect addition to our farm.
We separate our silkies by colour and each rooster has 6 girlfriends in matching white, black, buff, grey or splash colours. They regularly get preventative mite treatments and worm tablets to ensure optimum health.
Depending on availability, we can offer silkies for sale in a range of different life stages:
- Fertile eggs, $30 dozen
- Fertile, candled eggs @ 5-8 days, $50 dozen
- Day old chicks, $10ea (need heat)
- Week old chicks $15ea (need heat)
- 3+ Week old chicks, $20ea (need heat)
- 6+ Week old chicks, $25ea
- 3 Month old juveniles, $30ea
- 4 Month old juveniles, $35ea
- 5 Month old juveniles, $40ea
- 6 Month old pullets, $50ea
- 7 Month old pullets, $60ea
- 8 Month old laying hens, $70ea
- Broody hen on 8 fertile, candled eggs, $100 set
- Mumma hen on 6 chicks 1-4 days old, $120 set
All eggs, chicks and juveniles are sold unsexed, and only pullets and laying hens are guaranteed female. Please note that any obvious roosters are removed from sale, so the older the chicken, the higher the chance of it being a hen. Please get in touch for more information or to check availability.
