QUALITY SILKIE CHICKENS AT AFFORDABLE PRICES Welcome to our site. We hope you take the time and browse around. We take pride in all of our silkies and hope you will enjoy them too. We try to answer all inquiries within a few days but sometimes the farm keep us pretty busy so please be patient. |
| We are a small family farm located in central Illinois and raise corn, soybeans, cattle and, of course, silkie chickens. It started as my son's 4-H project in 2001 with a few silkies and turned into an obsession. He loves all his birds and I have to admit they are pretty entertaining. We keep a small flock and pay attention to quality not quantity. All of our breeders have correct combs, toes, type, large crests and are very fluffy. The colors we raise are white, black, blue, splash, partridge, buff and cuckoo. We will be also be trying some lavendars and gray in 2012. Silkies currently available will be listed on the for sale page together with information on hatching eggs and shipping. We try to keep our stock affordable so all can enjoy these wonderful birds and please remember that not all chicks grow up to be that perfect show bird but they are all still wonderful. We hope to have available in the fall of 2012 white and pastel call ducks, silver, white and split wood ducks, various teals, fawn and white runners and cayugas . We just have to wait and see how the laying and hatching go this spring. Our flock is NPIP certified. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or see something you like.

| Babies at Play FEED ALERT!!! Due to the 2012 drought, high levels of toxins (alfatoxin, mycotoxin), have been found in the corn crop. This can cause serious problems for your birds especially breeders and babies. Commercially prepared feeds will usually contain toxin binders which will eliminate the problems but please check your labels. If you feed cracked corn or grind your own corn for feed, please have it tested for toxins. If you do find it in your feed, you can puchase toxin binders to add to the feed. Contact your local feed supplier. |
