Silkies are  

like potato chips-
once you start you can't stop at just one!


 What makes a Silkie so great?----------------------------------->

Picture
These small, fluffy chickens are the epitome of the pet chicken. Silkies thrive in smaller "urban backyard" coops. They are cuddly, friendly, and love to be around humans (and other pets.) 

With very distinct personalities,  Silkie chickens are primarily docile and quiet. They are wonderful pets for children  and have a very sweet disposition.

All Silkies come from high quality breeding stock from throughout the United States. A lot of time & effort is spent to ensure that they are hatched healthy and remain happy throughout the course of their lives.  The Silkies are fed an Omega-3 rich vegetarian based diet, given access to lots of fresh greens daily, and are vaccinated for Mareks.  

A Silkie you purchase from KMC will have all the Silkie standards: 5 toes, bearded, a fluffy crest, dark colored skin & blue lobes. We raise many different colors of Silkie-
 White, Black, Blue, Lavender, Splash, Buff, Porcelain, Painted (polka-dot), Cuckoo, Partridge.

We spoil ourSilkies, but it is easy to pamper them when they are so dang cute! They are truly a joy to observe and interact with.

A lil' note about Silkies

Some of our Silkies are show quality- however we breed for docile temperment and genetic composition rather than trying to make all "show" They have been chosen for color, composition/type. All are part of a personal breeding project with the help of various breeders throughout the United States, insuring that they are selected for certain genetic traits- and based on the A.B.A & A..S.B.A standard. Respect for all forms of life is paramount- however...

We like our Silkies pretty, purebred, and colorful. No backyard crosses! (Ok, well sometimes, but just for fun) But a particular color may not be recognized by certain poultry organizations. We strive for perfection & certain characteristics, but mastering genetics is always a "work in progress." If you are looking for a show quality Silkie, please let us know! If you are looking for a pet quality Silkie, please let us know!

We love them all equally! They are treated with love and kindness every day. These are not your standard hatchery chicks.

Shy at times- So maybe reach out & help us socialize?
