{"product_id":"coming-soon-2027-silkies","title":"COMING SOON 2027 (Silkies)","description":"Silkies are one of the most distinctive and beloved chicken breeds, originating from Asia centuries ago. Known for their soft, fluffy plumage that resembles silk, these birds have black skin, blue earlobes, and feathered feet—traits that make them instantly recognizable and highly sought after by breed enthusiasts.\n\nBeyond their striking appearance, Silkies are celebrated for their calm, broody temperament. They make exceptional mothers and will readily go broody to hatch eggs from other breeds, making them invaluable for small-farm breeding programs. Their gentle nature and docile personality make them perfect for families and educational settings.\n\nSilkies lay small brown eggs consistently once mature. While not the highest egg producers, their reliability and broody instinct more than compensate for modest laying rates.\n\nOur 2027 Silkie hatching eggs and chicks will be available for spring delivery. These will be carefully selected from our breeding flock to ensure quality, health, and breed standards. Whether you're building a rare-breed collection or seeking a reliable broody hen, Silkies are an excellent choice for any homestead.\n\nReserve your Silkie chicks or hatching eggs now for spring 2027.","brand":"MeansFarmsLLC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45698882076870,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/7568\/6598\/files\/silkies.png?v=1775678793","url":"https:\/\/meansfarmsllc-2.myshopify.com\/products\/coming-soon-2027-silkies","provider":"MeansFarmsLLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
