He hasn't figured out the breeding pen yet.

It would. Though that's not the goal. I need F1 Malay/Silkie for my next crossing. Will also be aiming for another F1 Silkie/Brahma cross, for the part 2 crossing. Would look something like this once I get them: Silkie/Malay X Silkie/Brahma. These F2s will then be back crossed, then the F3s...

One of my big Silkie hens is a paint, she's got some black splotches on her, so probably will cross Black Malay with her. Should get both black, & paints from that breeding.

Thinking I would have to breed to black first, I've got two black Malay cockerels I can cross to Silkie hens.

I will hatch a few eggs from Floof, & Ghost to see what they'd produce size wise with their offspring.

Would love to introduce Khaki into the Giant Silkie Project. Just need to figure out the best route to do so, cuz I've got 007, & my Dun Partridge Malay Cockerel, & pullet I can use.

One thing that still bugs me abit is someone said he's just dominant white with leakage, or whatever due to a dead chick of his I shared. 007, as a chick. This isn't Dominant White. Camera failed to pick up alot of the blueish/Grey/lavender tone of the wet lighter fluff, making the chick look...

Here's a Khaki Frizzle Satin, Showgirl, I found, & Screenshotted for reference of gradient in color.

He does need a bath, be prepared for a soggy Silkie pictures one day.

Here's what 007's feathers look when wet. Sorry, not the best picture. Different gradients of gray when wet.When dry it looks exactly like Khaki, which is a grayish color with a slight light brown tone. He's got the same gradient, darkest to lightest throughout his body plumage, but some parts...

Still planning to get the incubator running, just need bottled water, then I can sanitize, & get it started.

Floof doesn't have it.

Well, my other Chinese Silkies don't have that trait. I have yet to check Floof my project rooster for it though.

Gonna check my other Silkies for this feature tomorrow.

Butchered a big Silkie Cockerel today. Found double preening glands on him, first time I've seen that feature on Chinese Silkies. Though I don't think I've actually paid attention to theirs. He had long muscular legs like an oriental Gamefowl. I would've kept him, but he's been ripping up my...

I was gonna do more F1s, but of different crosses. This would be next step in keeping size. Next is a couple more F1 Silkie/Brahma crosses. Will also be doing F1 Silkie/Malay crosses.

No, I just natural breed LF Silkie X Brahma. Hoping to start breeding again this spring, or early summer.

Yep, I've seen, & replied. I haven't been on much.

Guessing not true Satin, looks like the common Silkie X Cochin cross.

Sounds good.
