    Crosses to get sex links

    What does that come out as? (How do you tell the difference?)

    Ideas wanted - Sharing a Flock?

    Had an idea and wanted to run it by everyone for input, toss it around a bit. Has anyone ever partnered up with another farm (or chicken lady, etc) to expand their flock? Such as, one person has a lot of extra room on their property, and the other doesn't but doesn't mind building coops and...

    Thank you! I raided my fern plant and and took about 100 photos to get the look I wanted, haha. :)

    Silkie Cross Thread!! PICS!!

    Hmm. It is a bit bigger! I wonder how much a pullet or cockerel would cost, and to ship too, though.

    Ok, let me know! I am in San Diego, so if they happen to ship chicks, that'd be perfect.

    Where are you located? I could use some standard-sized silkies (don't mind if they are pure, since I would be using them to skip a gen or two in my cross-breed project... I'm going for larger size than bantam.) Are you in the US, or?

    Also, there are no standard-sized silkies here in the US, so, no large crosses.

    So far my crosses have been just a little bigger than bantams, when pairing a silkie to a regular. I don't think you'll get a standard size bird from the first cross. You'd have to breed the cross bird with a standard size bird, for larger chicks.

    You always have a much darker chick from a silkie roo over a normal hen, than a normal roo. My silkie roo over EEs gives me dark gray skinned chicks, with a rare black-skinned every once in a while. :)

    Lets put it this way - whatever color the roo is, the chicks will be that color or slightly darker, but not by much. :)

    You'll likely get regular light skin, and a sort of light grayish skin. But you won't get any dark skin chicks out of a normal roo.

    The chicks would be light-skinned. It passes best through the roos.

    Ayam Cemani

    If I had chicks by a Cemani roo and a different breed of hen, I'd say 'parents are xyz and Cemani, this is NOT a Cemani'. edited by staff
