on Silkie Chickens or Miniature Donkeys!

Besides breeding and showing National Champion miniature donkeys, Cedar
Creek Farm has begun breeding and showing bearded silkie chickens. We
have had bantam chickens for well over 30 years, but have only recently
focused on show quality silkies. Since the poultry show season is
during the “off season” for showing our miniature donkeys, our silkie
shows should not impact our donkey shows.
For our breeding program, we have obtained quality birds of nationally
known bloodlines and we are now breeding our own birds that are winning
in the show ring. We strive to breed silkies according to the APA
Standard of Perfection for the silkie breed, while at the same time
producing birds that are pleasing to us in color, conformation and
temperament. Presently we are focusing on splash silkies, but we also
have some winning white birds as well as a few blues to cross to the splash. We
have a small select flock which we breed to try to improve the breed,
and thus we have only a very limited number of birds available for
sale. No bird with a disqualifying fault will be sold as a
breeding/show quality bird. We have a NPIP certified flock.
