What Kind of monster have I created?

For about three weeks now, my black silkie has been sitting on some eggs. I thought for sure none would hatch, but of course, today one did. So the mother is a full black silkie, father is Rhode Island Red/Buff Orpington cross. Ever heard of it? Seen it? Thanks!

Have you ever wondered how a hen can lay an egg every day?
Free range? Yea or nay?

Haven't hatched yet, first batch none were fertile, however another hen is sitting on some, and I KNOW hers will be fertile.

You said in your first post that one hatched, didn't you?
I have a silkie/cochin/black orpington pullet. She's got black skin, beak, comb, feathers. A 5th toe fused to her forth. And a little beard and muffs. She also has very big eyes.
