    Breeding Experimentation

    Well, the father had gray/lighter skin and the mother was a black skinned silkie. I'm still learning about chicken genetics so I am unsure exactly what sex link is or how it works really.

    Breeding Experimentation

    Hey, BYC friends! How many of you out there dabble in crossbreeding? My wife and I have been working a Polish X Silkie (polkie) project for awhile and have been getting some interesting results so I just wanted to share a recent juvenile we really like.

    Silkie X Easter Egger Chick!

    So my wife and I tried to incubate maybe a dozen blue eggs from one if our EE hens that was mating with a silkie roo and we finally scored a fertile egg! Say hello to Hapa, our first hybrid chick. It seems to have some silver and gold coloration going on. I can't wait to see how it develops! <3

    Polkie Program!

    That is also true. I have three Sultans around month old so this will be a good use for them!

    Polkie Program!

    Well, I am trying to produce a silkie feathered bird that has a body mass and Crest larger than a normal silkie bantam. I also want to produce more variety in color and pattern. I would also like to maintain the feathered feet but no preference on beards.

    First Chicks!

    Hey, team! Hope everyone is gearing up for a wonderful Christmas! I started backyard chicken keeping last year and my young Silkie roo and his two hens are laying eggs daily. We are incubating them with a 100% success rate thus far. What color type are these silkie chicks? How will they look...

    Polkie Program!

    Thank you! I am aiming to produce a healthier silkie/polish with a larger crest. It should also add a more interesting color and pattern set as well with some weird variations. We shall see! Thanks again.

    Polkie Program!

    Hello! I am starting a "Polkie" (Silkie x Polish/Crested) breeding program to combine the genetics of both the head crest and the feathering/fuzz of the silkie bantam. My F1s are of course not displaying the silkie fur until I breed them back to another polkie. I believe once I get to F3, I'll...

    Angel Wing?

    Hi, BYC buddies! I am still a newbie and raising some Rouen ducklings. I am paranoid about angel wing developing in my duckies and was wondering if this wing appearance is normal on these young ducklings? They are just starting to feather out. Thanks!

    Young Rouen Pair

    Hi, friends! I am an amateur that would appreciate some experienced knowledge! These are my two very young Rouen ducklings. One has a bill that is yellow and black and the other is a solid dark color. Is there a way to tell their sex by the bill in young Rouens?

    What type of ducks are these?!

    Thanks, BYC buddies! It is very appreciated! Any idea when the head will start to turn green on the drakes (if any)?

    What type of ducks are these?!

    Hi, I am raising a mixed flock of about 20 birds but just added these two cuties to the family! Can anyone ID the breed for me? I have no idea what they are. The beaks and feet are jet black.
