Redwing Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 If you buy chicks you will need to keep them under a heat lamp for a while and inside so will need the right equipment (which can be as simple as a crate and heat lamp) Also you won't know if they are girls or boys Something to bear in mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saronne Posted September 1, 2009 Share Posted September 1, 2009 I would suggest looking on the Welland Valley Feed site (Market Harborough based). They have 'small adverts' for poultry. There were a few smallish breeders who advertised Silkies when I last looked. Also, have you tried Westaway Poultry in Rutland? Also, I have sent you a pm.
