These are such a gorgeous and fun breed! My kids love carrying these. They are one of the most fun and loving breeds you can find! The splash variety is much more rare than a white or black solid color. It is very difficult to sex silkies since they are a bantam size and require dna testing to verify sex at around 3 weeks (if you would like that they are $15 more). These require non- medicated feed just fyi in case you've never owned silkies. They are a bantam breed.
