Thank you all so very much for your very informative responses! I appreciate all the help!
@Hinotori I think that will be a good starting place for me if I can’t find someone already working on it. I’m guessing that after that second generation it would be best to breed the silkied ones to each other (only the hens that lay a blue egg) and then from there breed in more silkies to try to veer towards the SOP? Maybe could have a decent looking blue layer by the 6th generation or so? It will take me forever to get there because my flock is small but I hope to try it!
That's basically it. I breed each back to a good silkie rooster and watch for blue eggs from the offspring. Im about ready to try getting a good rooster. None of the ones last year met my wants.
