Title: Silkies for Sale- Located Central Scotland
Post by: ballingall on March 14, 2010, 06:25:33 pm

Hi All,

We bought some Silkie eggs on ebay last year to help fill up the incubator without really intending to keep them. They were hatched in August, we have 4 white and 3 gold. Remarkably, we got every single one a pullet.

We are located near Falkirk, central Scotland belt. We are only looking to part with them as we have a few too many hens, and we never really intended to keep Silkies!

If anyone is interested, let me know.

Beth

Shame you are so far away -  I have quite a few silkies, all white, and one black one.  Would love some gold ones.

Lucky you getting the pullets - I always end up with lots of males whatever I hatch!!!

Hi,

They are all supposed to be large, however one of the gold ones is a bit wee for a large. It could be possible that a rogue egg snuck in. Looking for say £60 for them all? Might be able to negotiate! There will be someone here tomorrow evening, though I won't be home from work until the back of 6pm, so its most likely to be my mum who will be in.
