Silkie Cross Breeds

[RockerHen]

Quote: I have one very similar colored, but her head poof isn't as dark and she has a beard. She has five toes on one foot and four on the other. She's one of my best broodies and has survived a hawk attack (my anatolian chased it away before it could kill her, thank goodness!)

Here's my attempt! Silkie roo / EE hen, parents below.


I cannot WAIT to see how s/he turns out.
Anyone know when gender is likely to be known on these mutts?

The white pullet.

The sisters' mom and dad.

That is the MOST GORGEOUS white pullet ever. Maybe I'm a severe sucker because I WISH I had gotten another white chick this go.
Mine is probably going to look like your black one. Gotta love the black silkie roos.

My reserve champion silkie x easter eggers. Your will most likely look like mine. I have 3 black and 1 blue. They lay 6 eggs a week on average each. Some of them have gold and silver leakage on the hackles.

all of these guys are silkie X Japanese bantam in some percentage. they are all related.

I haven't been on here in forever... but i have a silkie hen i'm kinda letting brood on some of my EE eggs and the rooster is a splash silkie. the one EE i'm hoping whose eggs will hatch is a sorta blue wheaten color (creamy white with some tan and light blue on the head and shoulders), and the other one is a darker blue with lots of browns and golds mixed into it. i was wondering if this is successful, then what might be any possible outcomes? sorry, it's pretty specific but i'm just kinda wondering...
