It All Started with Ten Silkies

Route 99 was built from humble beginnings and a whole lot of heart. It all started with ten little Silkies — a housewarming gift from my mom that changed everything. What began as a small backyard hobby quickly became a deep passion for these gentle, fluffy birds. I started hatching a few eggs just for fun, completely mesmerized by the process. One incubator turned into three, and before long, I was upgrading to a larger one to keep up with the growing excitement and curiosity.

As my flock grew, so did my dedication to learning everything I could about breeding, genetics, and care. I began bringing in outside lines to strengthen the program, working to create birds that reflected both the beauty and the heritage of the Silkie breed. Each new addition was chosen with intention — for health, structure, feather quality, and temperament — and every hatch became another small step toward something bigger.

Today, that simple gift has grown into a thriving flock of around fifty birds. Route 99 stands as a reflection of where passion, patience, and purpose can lead. Every bird here is raised by hand, with care and respect, on a small farm where quality always comes before quantity. Our journey is still unfolding, but one thing hasn’t changed since the beginning: it all started with love, and that same love guides every decision we make for our flock today.

From Our Farm to Your Flock

At Route 99, we believe great birds come from great care. Our farm is built on the idea that quality begins long before the hatch — in the health, environment, and attention each bird receives every day. We breed for strong structure, correct Silkie type, and rich, consistent color, but just as importantly, for calm, friendly temperaments that make our birds a joy to raise and handle. Every pairing is planned with intention, balancing genetics, conformation, and personality to strengthen our lines with each generation. Our flock lives much like they were meant to — with open space to scratch, sun to bask in, and the freedom to just be chickens. What we’ve built at Route 99 is more than a breeding program; it’s a reflection of respect for the breed, for the land, and for the small, meaningful work of raising something truly special.
