Black Silkie x WLH - these are cockerals - I didn't get any pullets of this mix
<----- This is Beast (I mean look at that comb!!!).
Black Silkie x Buff Orpington - this is the pullet and I also have two cockerels of this mix. What I find interesting is her feather pattering...
Ok, so I had hatched out 2 Black Bearded Silkie and WLH crosses.....I know for a fact one is male.....he crowed and he is already "maturing". They are 11 weeks old. Here are three pictures of the other one.
And here is a picture of both of them, the one in question is on the your...
When I had the eggs incubating back in early November, I wondered what cross it would be. Once they had hatched I knew exactly the cross. How did I know, well the 5 toes and feathered feet gave it away. Of course I already knew who the mama was, one of our Buff Orpingtons and the daddy is our...
I have 3 that look like this one! Oh my goodness - - - too stinkin' CUTE! Can't wait to find out the sexes. If female, those are going to be some very broody mamas! Can't wait to see how they are going to feather out. So far (physically speaking) looks like it got most of it's genes from the...
As of this morning, I still have 1 unhatched egg and 1 pipped.
Here's what we have so far.
To clarify: All do have feathers on the legs and all do have 5 toes.
The dark ones are Black Bearded Silkie (roo) x Buff Orpington (hen)
The yellow one is Black Bearded Silkie (roo) x White Leghorn...
Had another buff orpington egg to hatch around 1PM today......same.......our Silkie is the daddy! So, both have the black shanks, skin, feathers, beak BUT no feathers on the legs and 4 toes.
So these would be sexlinks? The rooster is the Silke and the hen a Buff Orpington. Chickie babies...
I realize this is an old thread, but thought I'd post anyway.
I have 2 easter egger hens. One lays a light brown egg and the other lays a sage green color egg.
This is Goldies egg - the sage green egg.
So I've got 6 eggs in the magicfly incubator.
2 from my whiteleg horn and 4 from 2 of my buff orpingtons(2 ea.) - they will be mixes.
So I woke up this morning to a chickie-baby that hatched overnight. I was a little surprised because before I went to bed (midnight), I checked on the eggs...
Thank you! He is a sweet rooster. He only hangs out with 2 other chickens. Another rooster and a pullet. He is very skittish now. Can't get very close to him.
Ah ha! I do believe you are correct.
In my previous thread someone mentioned a Silver Lakenvelder and I said I didn't think so because of the leg color, well the leg color did change. So we'll go with Silver Lakenvelder!!
