Here is some pics of our Silkie/Sebright cross, Simon. Mom, Chandni, is a blue bearded Silkie and Dad, Stewart, is a Silver Sebright. Simon is the softest and cuddliest bird. He got moms five toes, feathered feet and FM gene, Dads eyes, rosecomb and waddles. He has Moms beard, muffs and crest. The Sebright hen feathering gene seems to have partially been passed to him, he has very rounded saddle feathers but they do drape a bit, he also may be getting sickle feathers but they are also softer in shape. We had three hatch but he was the only one to make it, one got a beak injury and when Mom discovered one of her babies had passed she freaked out and smothered another baby. We removed Simon for a couple weeks and put him in a cage near his Mom where she could see him but not accidentally smother him. They were both happily reunited a few weeks later and she and the father have raised him together and he still sleeps with them. He was born early May. Simon also has a very melodic crow!

The blue Silkie and Silver Sebright in the pics are Mom and Dad. The three lavender chicks in one of the pics are Simon and his siblings, we really wish the other two had made it The splash Silkie by the grape plant with Simon is his girlfriend Lillian who we plan to breed together once the reach maturity. We have a friend that breeds Silkies and she suggested the pairing. Simon and Lillian took to each other right away so we are excited to see how their offspring will turn out. We have been so pleased with Simon that we have 11 eggs of his parents in the incubator right now in hopes of hatching him some siblings!

Are the 3 pictures after the chicks, your rooster as a teenager? Before his comb and wattles were out?

Here are pics of my silkie crosses. The mom is a buff Orpington and dad is a blue silkie. Any thought of sex? They are just over 3 weeks old. I think the brown ones are boys and the grey one is a girl. There are 3 total.

Anyone care to take a stab at this one?
I bought six 'Backyard Mix' week old chicks. One looks like it has Golden Wyandotte lacing, but this one has Black and White lacing and a poofy Silkie head. It's much smaller than the other chicks of the same age. They are 6-7 weeks old now. Her name is Vanessa, decided by my four year old.

That’s so funny! They’re like literally half silkie! Their head, neck, and feet are silkie but their body isn’t LOL
