Hi! Sounds like he's close. Is Lakeland your PO? I hope everything is OK. Lisa

Hi! Fingers and toes crossed for you! Honestly, to my eye they always have and still look silkie feathered (from the pics) and fray seems a far stretch --- but test-mating would be the most simple way to clear that up. Good luck! Lisa

Well shoot! I have a couple of Silkie hens that will be *clean* in another week --- I'd be glad to donate for the test-mate if you were close enough to pick them up. I hope you can find someone local to work with. This is going to sound silly, but is it possible to ship 'chicken juice' and...

Hi! Wouldn't a 'test-mating' to a Silkie tell whether it's true silkie feathering or not? Lisa

Hi! Finally found a pic! There was nothing "Silkie-ish" about this pullet (laid the blue egg in this pic ): but she had the silkie feather gene. I have no clue to her background, except she was one of the 'roosters added for warmth' in an Ideal order in '05. The other 'added for warmth'...

Hi! Here's how I ended up with my silkie-feathered green-eggers: SFGE (that was from '05 and all the pics have since disappeared) Lisa

Hi! You KNOW *I* think they are just stunning! I'd call them simply what they are: silkie-feathered Ameraucana. Great job getting them out there --- that auction will bear watching! Lisa

Hi! My silkie feathered green-eggers ARE Silkie crosses. I found the old thread from when I hatched them (from The Coop back in '05 ). And they are quite homely. Lisa

Wow! A spontaneous genetic mutation? That's so cool and how lucky for you!! They are really really pretty! I have some blue silkie feathered green-egger hens here, but they are not nearly so pretty --- actually mine are kind of homely. Lisa
