Silkies do tend towards broodiness and make wonderful mothers. The Silkie is a Chinese breed of chicken named for its typically fluffy plumage, which is said to feel like silk and satin. The breed has several other unusual qualities, such as black skin and bones. They come in a variety of colours and we stock most to all. 

These lovely ladies are definitely a personal favourite of ours here at Silver Warren Farm. They have the sweetest temperament, all of the Bantam breeds are particularly great for children's pets, first time poultry hobbyist's and those who are looking for an ornamental bird for their garden to lay a smaller egg.

Polands are a unique looking chicken and come in a variety of beautiful, striking colours. The temperament of a Poland is friendly, they love to be handled and enjoy human companionship. They are great for children and as pets. They can tend to be flighty and may seem nervous at times, but this will be due to the fluffy head feathering and the visual impact it has on the bird. keep the bird handled on a regular basis.

They have a placid nature and are adept at coping with bad weather. They are easily tamed and will do anything for a treat.

The hens make excellent broodies and wonderful mothers.

Spitzhaubens are active and alert birds. A very active breed capable of laying a good number of large white eggs.  Light breeds have a reputation for being flighty, but this is overcome in time with gentle handling.

Wyandottes are docile birds and the hens make good mothers. They lay well and chicks tend to be strong and are quick growers. Their attractive "curvy" shape, generally good disposition and many attractive colour patterns (varieties) make them a good choice for fanciers as well as farmers. The Wyandotte is a dual-purpose breed, kept for its brown eggs and is a popular show bird. 

We just love these little bantams, Sablepoots are such pretty little birds with gorgeous feathering along their legs and feet that make them look like they are wearing feathered booties! They have lovely natures and come in many colours, great for back garden set ups, but also happy free roaming, they make great garden buddies and pet chickens.  This breed will lay up to 150 small white coloured eggs per year, they are not known for being overly broody.
