My blue Silkie is broody and sitting on two eggs. Pretty certain the father is an OEG red Pyle rooster (I have a white Silkie rooster, but he appears to be asexual šŸ˜‚)
I havenā€™t been able to find any posts describing this crossā€”more often, the hen is the OEG (which seems almost counter-intuitive, given Silkiesā€™ rep for broodiness.)
Aside from sheer curiosity, Iā€™d like to see if itā€™s a cross worth hatching and maybe risking additional roosters that Iā€™ll need to re-home šŸ˜¬
 
The offspring should be white with blue or black spots and red leakage. They will have smooth feathering. If the silkie isnā€™t a pure blue, the offspring may turn out completely white or with more red than white.

Thank you!! The first has just pipped! šŸ˜‚
It will be interesting to see!
