Why would I want the silkie feathered ones?

I won't have any silkie males. I'm having two pens (one with Cochins and one with polish) and will have the silkies with both for broodies

Oh yeah, I meant more keep the chicks and cross to the opposite gender (females to the cochin/polish male and males to the silkie mamas

I think I'll use both with seperate silkies and then cross back to the opposite next gen. That seems to be the best way I think to improve everything

Sultan aren't cold hardy enough to make it where I live without adding heat. Plus They only come in one color.

Oh, okay thanks. Does that make the crests better too?

And yes, kinda. Sarina in this case are basically silkies (sometimes without the dark skin and extra toe) with normal feathers

Honestly I'm not sure. MY crosses will be made with silkie hens since I'm putting the silkies in with whatever breed (Cochin or polish) I decide will be best. I'll probably end up breeding the F1 hens to the other group any how, but I'm always up for shortcuts XD

Okay. I figured cochinxSilkie would have better feathered legs, but worried about crests. The polishxsilkie would have better crests, but poorly feathered legs

Looking to make something similar to satins. Would a polishxsilkie or a cochinxsilkie work better?
