Black Silkie x WLH - these are cockerals - I didn't get any pullets of this mix <----- This is Beast (I mean look at that comb!!!). Black Silkie x Buff Orpington - this is the pullet and I also have two cockerels of this mix. What I find interesting is her feather pattering...

Had another buff orpington egg to hatch around 1PM today......same.......our Silkie is the daddy! So, both have the black shanks, skin, feathers, beak BUT no feathers on the legs and 4 toes. So these would be sexlinks? The rooster is the Silke and the hen a Buff Orpington. Chickie babies...

thank you!
