I don't have any but usually black skin, feathered feet and extra toes. But usually very cute!

all crosses will come out looking different because of the gene pool but the pics can show what you can expect from the silkie crosses. i should be getting some silkie x d'uccle mixes around feb. and i cant wait

Silkie crosses are some of my favorite mutts ever, I have yet to see a boring looking silkie cross.

Here's the only one I have at the moment, she's a great broody, shes pictured with some BCM chicks she htched a couple years ago and she actually setting on her own eggs right now.

you can actually sex them at hatch if you use silkie roo over any type of hen.

Thanks for confirming my "Sex Linked" Theory by using Silky Roos

What if the cross was the other way around ? Should they all be dark skinned then ? I've hatched dark skinned pullets that I'm pretty sure were a BCM roo in Silkie hens, but then I've also hatched a white skinned pullet from a Mottled Cochin roo on a White silkie hen.
