Questions
About our chicks
Are your silkie chicks sexed?
No. Our chicks are sold straight run (unsexed), so expect about half to be roosters. Silkies are very hard to sex by looking at them until they are several months old, but a DNA test from a poultry lab can tell you for sure at any age.
Do you ship silkie chicks?
Yes. We ship chicks at 1 to 3 weeks old, never as day-olds, because silkies travel much better once they have grown a little stronger. They go out by USPS Priority Mail Express on Mondays and Tuesdays only, so they never sit in a post office over a weekend, and we hold shipments during extreme heat or cold. A minimum order applies so they keep each other warm on the trip. Juveniles can be shipped too: ask us for a quote.
Can you hold or delay my shipment?
Yes. To keep birds safe, we reserve the right to hold any shipment if temperatures swing or the weather changes unexpectedly, if a bird looks even a little unwell, or if there is a postal holiday during the shipping week. We will let you know right away and ship on the next safe date. If you would rather not wait, you can cancel for a full refund.
Do you guarantee live arrival?
Yes, with a few conditions. If a chick or juvenile we shipped arrives dead, text or email us within 24 hours of delivery with a photo of the bird in its shipping box, showing its painted toes (we mark every bird we ship). We will refund the price of that bird. Shipping costs are not refunded, and the guarantee does not cover packages picked up late from the post office or left unclaimed.
Where do I pick up my silkies?
In Hudson, Florida, by appointment. Hudson is in Pasco County on the Gulf Coast, north of Tampa. To protect our flock we do not offer farm tours, but you will see your birds before you take them home.
Are your chicks vaccinated?
Yes. Our chicks are vaccinated for Marek's disease, which silkies are especially prone to. Our flock is NPIP certified and our breeding birds are tested for MG.
