Arg! sorry, I've got you mixed up with another post. Yes, avoid the silkie feathered ones seeing as you want satins. I would still try to breed back to silkie as much as possible assuming you want the other silkie traits (5 toes, black skin) in your satins though I know some people don't mind so...

Aha, what you've got will work. Depending on how many you're hatching I'd think about putting the female offspring of the polish with the male offspring of the cochin (amd vice versa) and only keeping the silkie feathered chicks (about 25%) as that way you won't have to worry abut who carries...

Good idea, though I would even think about crossing the females back to a silkie roo if you have one as the females back to the cochin or polish will only give 1/4 silkie offspring and you wont be able to tell which of the offspring F2 carry the silkie feather gene without test mating, as...

I personally would think about keeping the two lines separate for a little bit and cross back to silkie a couple of times before breeding the lines together so you don't loose too many of the other silkie characteristics.

I would also add cochin rather than polish as I think cochin will add a better rounder shape and better leg feathering, but polish will definitely give you better crests.
