Silkie Cross Breeds

[jmbwholesale]

I have one seabrite rooster and four seabrite/silkie mixed chickens that have the five toes and feathered feet/legs. I bought the fertile eggs on eBay and incubated them. They were supposed to be either seabrites or silkies, they said in the listing the breeds stay true, no crossbreeding. Well, well, well, I like them anyway! They remind me of black birds, I keep singing "blackbird singing in the dead of the night". Lol here's a recent picture. They hatched the end of August 2014, so just two months old and the silver seabrite rooster already crows!

Meep, the 12-14wk old Silkie X Old English Game Bantam. I think she's a pullet?

Why thank you CarolinaHen, she is such a sweetie, reassuring to hear someone else thinks she's a pullet

I love Silkie/OEGB crosses. We actually have three in the incubator right now

I agree, she looks like a pullet. I love those Silkie cross head poofs.

She had 2 sisters that I wanted but mum wanted a white pure Silkie instead, which is also cute.

Heres Meep this morning checking out the nesting boxes. She has lots of Silkie characteristics, except has mostly OEGB feathers and just 4 toes.

This is Black Pearl, peeping in through a hole in the door so she can watch me clean the shed. she is a Silkie/Polish and is a very small build with 5 toes. She is obsessed with food!
