Interesting, thanks. But if you keep breeding over several years using one of the girls and an australorp rooster, will the Silkie feathering increase or decrease over time?
Silkies and Pekins seem quite popular here for backyards with kids. But I'm not sure if they would retain the cuteness level once crossed with an australorp. I've tried to look for pics but haven't seen many.
For myself, I love the productivity of australorps. But I don't think everyone cares...
Hi, we've got some lovely black australorps that we're looking forward to breeding. Mostly just to sell as backyard chickens, but with the possibility of entering shows if we have the right kind of quality.
We currently have three girls and a boy. We COULD have two more girls in our current set...
