Milliechick Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Hello, I live on the border of Warwickshire and Oxfordshire, and I am looking to get some chickens. I love the Pekin Bantams, which I have found a few breeders of. But I am also looking for Silkies, and there are none to be found. Does anyone know of a breeder of these near me? Thank you Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Griffin Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 Try calling Luci at The Birdhaus near Brackley 01280 851261. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CluckyBucks Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hello there Local farms (may or may not have/sell silkies) but i got mine from a local farm for £15 each, its worth a go if you can find a farm that sells them!

Milliechick Posted September 17, 2009 Author Share Posted September 17, 2009 Hello, thank you for your advice. I'll give the Birdhaus a ring later. There are plenty of farms, it's a case of looking out for signs. Thank you for your welcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurmurf Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Jody at Raw Green Cottages has only 2 female silkies left, but is charging £25 EACH for them! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redwing Posted September 17, 2009 Share Posted September 17, 2009 Thats not too way off for good silkiesI would say £20 is about right though A high quality trio of silkies went for £450 at an auction last weekend there is a buyer's premium of usually 7% on top then VAT on top of that too!
