Okay I used a turkem bantam on some silkie hens this spring. How many generations should I expect it to take to consistantly produce SG silkies? If I go back onto these F1 hens what can I expect as far as silkies and naked necks?

if u breed the naked neck babies out of this hatch to a silkie u should get about 50 50 naked necks and 50 50 silkies non silkies silkie carriers
it well be probly f10 before they start look like showgirls again

I just did a mini photo shoot of last years babies who are just starting to lay and breed and I wanted to show them off! I am so proud of how they are turning out and can't wait to see the next generation of babies!!!

My blue boy who I hatched last fall:

My Black pullet from fall hatch:

And my Lavender boy who will be replacing his father in the breeding pen this year:
