True blue large fowl bearded silkies, 6

Large fowl bearded silkies bred to British breed standards are extremely rare, particularly blue and black colours. These eggs are from my prize winning line.

I can also provide guaranteed black hatching eggs from the same line (upon enquiry only and dependent on seasonal pen setup).

Multiple clutches are listed as available but please do enquire before purchasing more than one as lay rates do fluctuate.

About the Blue Silkie

Blue Silkies show an even slate- to steel-grey plumage produced by a single blue (Andalusian) gene over a black base, ideally uniform and free of obvious lacing or barring. Because blue does not breed true, a blue-to-blue mating yields blue, black and splash chicks. It is a recognised standard colour with both the PCGB and APA, on the same gentle, broody ornamental Silkie type.
