Batch #2 just hatched, and one looks like a white-crested-black. A couple look like they might be white-crested blue, and another one looks like "Gori", the super interesting chick from the first hatch (who is feathering out silkied, by the way). I also have some that hatched out maybe...

Hello, apologies for disappearing. My rooster was killed by a predator and I thought that was it for my experiment, but fate apparently wasn't finished with the polkie project. This past summer, I was at the fair when I noticed one of the roosters there to be rehomed looked an awful lot like a...

The first generation of crosses has reached point of lay in the girls, and I have collected five eggs so far. My rooster has a great deal of red and gold in his feathers that--while lovely--will need to be bred out as I work. So far the only hint of a white crest is on Yoru, the hen pictured...

My polish hen has just started to lay! I have put one of her eggs in my incubator to see what develops. I haven't seen her in the "act" with the silkie roosters yet, but they're the only roos in with her, so if it's fertilized, it's going to be one of theirs. I am starting with just one of...

lol I will try to remember.

Well then, I suppose I have to try. XD

The diverse genetic possibilities of chickens fascinates me, but I don't know as much about it as I would like. I have an inquiry that more educated minds might be able to shed some light on regarding the possibility of producing white crested black silkies. I have a white crested black Polish...
