Buff Silkie 

The Buff Silkie is a one-of-a-kind ornamental chicken that combines striking beauty, a gentle temperament, and historical prestige. Highly prized by poultry lovers, backyard farmers, and exhibition breeders, the Buff Silkie is an eye-catching bird with a personality as soft as its feathers. At George Chicken Ranch, we offer top-quality Buff Silkies raised with care, making them a delightful addition to any flock or family.

What makes the Buff Silkie truly special is its silky, fur-like plumage in a rich golden-buff color. Unlike traditional feathers, their feathers lack barbs, giving them a fluffy, almost teddy-bear appearance. Their black skin, blue earlobes, and extra toes (usually five instead of four) only add to their exotic, ornamental charm.

But these birds are more than just looks. Buff Silkies are renowned for their docile, affectionate nature, making them ideal for children, first-time chicken owners, or anyone looking for a calm, friendly bird. They’re also known to be excellent mothers, often used to hatch and raise other breeds’ chicks due to their strong brooding instincts.

Despite their fancy appearance, Buff Silkies are surprisingly hardy and adaptable. They do well in both free-range and confined environments and are content to roam calmly or stay close to their coop. Though not prolific egg layers, they produce small cream or tinted eggs and often go broody, which makes them a great natural incubator.

At George Chicken Ranch, our Buff Silkies are raised in clean, well-maintained environments and fed a balanced diet to ensure optimal health and feather quality. Each bird is vaccinated, handled with care, and ready to thrive in your home or farm.

Whether you’re looking for a lovable pet, a show-quality bird, or a natural brooder for your flock, the Buff Silkie is a perfect choice. Its unique beauty, calm nature, and rich history make it a must-have for poultry enthusiasts of all levels.
