Old thread but I was happy to find it. I love silkie mixes! I prefer smooth feathered chickens but I totally understand why people like silkies and their poof ball appearance. Just for my own self, I like the mixed silkies with smooth feathers. And luckily for me my neighbor has a white silkie roo over nearly every color/type of hen imaginable. So without further ado, here's some of my "girls", and they are girls until they crow -.-






Love this pattern!


She's still young but already has been a mom to a silkie mix chick. It followed her everywhere like her own chick would and it turned out looking exactly like her, even though she's far too young to be it's real mom since at the time she was 2 months old. She was hiding in the bushes, probably from the chick who still follows her around haha.

Those are some beautiful chicks!

My silkie mix (with cochin hen) just brooded and hatched 4 sultan eggs for me. I added 6 EE chicks to her little brood and she's been a busy mom out showing "her" babies how to forage and scratch. She's amazing. My other silkie mix hen is starting to look around and I suspect she may start laying soon. I'm not sure what she's mixed with but she's large and fluffy with black silkie comb and legs.
