The Silked White Easter Egger cross is exclusive to MPC. It is the result of many years of selective breeding across multiple generations. They will have a random combination of muffs, beards and crests, and their skin will be either slate green or black in color. They will also have feathered legs and feet, varying from lightly to heavily feathered. The mature hens will lay blue eggs. You may be wondering about their size since there's Silkie blood in their genes, but since this is a multi-generational project, we've had the time to breed for size. The mature birds will be the same size as a typical Easter Egger, with hens weighing around 3-1/2 lbs. This breed will also tend to be broody, if you're looking for a great mama! This variety is a custom cross, bred exclusively for My Pet Chicken. On average, 15/16 pullets will lay blue eggs when they mature. Benefits of Purchasing Pullets Started pullets are an excellent option for people who don't have the time, equipment, or desire to care for chicks. These juvenile chicks are sexed twice, once at hatch and again at six weeks old, which reduces your chance of ending up with roosters. The minimum order is just 3 chicks! Additional Pullet Information These pullets will be vaccinated for Marek's disease and MG (Mycoplasma gallisepticum) Our six-week started pullets are floor-raised and socialized with humans, and their beaks are intact--we never trim. Please keep your 6-week-olds quarantined from your existing flock for four or more weeks, and take care when introducing them. Check out our Started Pullets Care Guide. Pullet Shipping Information All Started Juveniles are shipped USPS Priority Mail Express. Due to import regulations, we cannot ship to Iowa, Nevada, West Virginia, Texas, or Hawaii. Pullets will ship on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday of the designated shipping week. You will receive an email with tracking information once they leave the farm.
