Silkies are a popular pick for pet chickens, due to their friendly disposition and unique downy appearance. Other unique features include their black skin, blue earlobes, and extra toe. Silkies make excellent mothers, and will lay 2 - 4 white to cream colored eggs per week. The blue coloration does not always breed true, so adult birds may have blue, black, or splash featheration.

If a chick dies within 48 hours of being picked up, we will provide a refund or a replacement chick, if one is available. Chicks cannot be returned to the store in the interest of biosecurity.

Chicks are available for pick-up by appointment only.
Chicks are available for in-store pickup on the selected Saturday Chick Day or on the following Sunday between noon and 4 pm. Unless alternative arrangements are made by calling the store, reserved chicks that are not picked up within one week will be released for sale.

You will receive a confirmation email with additional pick up information the Thursday or Friday prior to pick up. If we are unable to fulfill your reservation for any reason, a store representative will call you with further information.
All standard chicks are sexed at the hatchery (with 90% certainty), but the occasional rooster does slip through. Rooster insurance is available for $.50 per chick. If an insured chick turns out to be a rooster we will take it back at no additional charge. Uninsured roosters or those not purchased at Agrarian can be taken in for a $20 handling fee. Roosters may be returned to the store by appointment only. Rooster insurance may be added at the time of pick up.
