So this big beautiful bird was a BOY! he had a tiny goofy crow but sure enough, a rooster. He was eagerly adopted and is living the farm life now. I will try to hatch out more jersey giant silkie crosses this summer.

I had no idea about the comb swap thing. That's something I definitely need to research. We have a couple different kinds of birds that like to mix it up and we are never sure what we are going to get for chicks.

I wish I had done the DNA testing like I planned. Dad the silkie has a giant Walnut comb which looks exactly like this little birds comb except for the size differential. The funny thing is that the bird in the picture below is from the same father and mother but completely different comb and...

The mother of this bird is a big black Jersey Giant. The father is a modestly sized white silkie rooster. The first picture here is the chicken in question. 3months old. I will also post pic of mother and father and a confirmed rooster of the same parents. I have hatched four of these mixes so...

I have two silkie roosters and I can tell you the buff one is definitely a boy and he's very pretty. I'm not supposed to have roosters and I live in the middle of downtown so I made some Velcro neck strap similar to a no crow rooster collar and my neighbor's not only don't complain but don't...

Since this post started we have successfully hatched for Jersey Giant silkie cross breeds. I have one more that hatched this week at home now. Everyone that has adopted one is very happy so far we are 3/4 for Roosters to hens. I'm hoping for a hen this time!

If you are interested I can give you hatching eggs to try to raise your own. My flock is at capacity

Blue is a big beautiful rooster with flat feathers like a jersey giant but more docile. No adult pictures as my coworker is too lazy to share. The white one is a hen.

Nugget is from a silkie breeder. He was sold to me as a smooth frizzle (whatever that is) silkie mix something or other. Feather feet,extra toes,blue ears and very gentle. Beautiful color but no clue what to call it. What do you call this color?

Blue is my three-week-old Jersey Giant silkie cross. The mother is a purebred almost 10 lb Jersey Giant. The father is most likely my white purebred silkie rooster. Trying to figure out if blue is a potential rooster or hen. I already have two small roosters and a giant silkie rooster may not...

Silkies all have five toes, regular chickens have four toes. Both fathers are part silky and have feathered feet and legs as well as five toes. The mother who is a Jersey Giant only has four toes.

We spent more time painting the chicken coop than we did building the chicken coop. It was my wife's idea to paint it this way. We love it. The chickens love it. The neighbors love it. Do you love it? We cut a hole in the side with a jigsaw and then put a hinge on the part we cut out for the...

We thought Penny and nugget were both girls when we named them. Out of 6 chickens, 3 turned out to be roosters. I believe penny is the father of the little white chick too. Very interested in creating some big jersey giant silkie crosses! We will be selling or giving away all our spring chicks...

Ostrich the big black jersey giant is the mother, but who is the father? Help me figure it out. See pics of those involved. "Blue" is the huge 2week old chick with 5 toes,feather feet and soft (softer/finer than usual for a jersey giant) feathering. Blue is next to teeny who hatched only 1 day...

Nugget has feathered feet, smooth feathers but silkie temperament and I can't quite figure his exact breed mix out. I believe a silkie and ? Nugget has Feather feet,5toes, smooth feathers smaller than a normal chicken. He is a sweet guy who gets along with our silkie roo (same hatch date)...

Lady fluffington is a mix and I'm unsure of correct terminology. I believe she is a sizzle silkie/cross. Entirely curled feathers, but not the sikkie feayher type. Shes tiny,sweet and broody.Here she is with her white chick (white silkie father) and jersey giant/(white silkie dad?) Chick she...

Here is a picture of the 4day old silkie/giant chick next to its 3day old silkie/sizzle frizzle sibling. Weight : 25grams vs 55grams. Also, picture of mom and likely dad.

I love my white silkie rooster and my big Jersey Giant hen. I believe i have successfully bred the two! (I also have a smooth Sizzle silkie rooster who is in the mix). I'm still trying to figure out who the father is. Has anyone here bred silkies and Jersey giants? This is my first chick at...
