silkie cross

Well this cross was interesting. I got a pair of blues roo & hen and a black hen This was right at weaning. I will post updated photos as they mature

I have 3 available. the breed mixes are black Silkie x lavender orpington, barnevelder x lavender orpington, light brahma x lavender orpington. I am hoping to rehome them as soon as possible. I am also hoping to rehome them before they start crowing. the Silkie mix has already started trying...

Hello all, my name is Cody and I am a new member. I first got chickens a few months ago around march/April I currently have 14 chickens. I have one white leghorn, one golden sexlink, 10 silkies, one leghorn silkie cross, and one golden sexlink silkie cross. I absolutely love chickens and...

A few months ago I got 6 Silkie chicks from Rural King (Hoover Hatchery). Today I noticed 2 of the 6 do not have walnut combs but I believe straight combs. I understand they are NOT show quality but are they also not a pure Silkie? Could they be rightfully bred as pet quality or should the 2...

Do you have a chicken that's half silkie? Let's make a thread where everyone shows off their beautiful silkie mixes! Please include a picture of your chicken(s) Add what breed is the other parent And any other fun information on your birdie

I hatched this guy from some eggs that were supposed to be silkies (with chance of frizzle/sizzles/and showgirls) off of eBay. He (which I’m assuming he is since the colors have started to show up) is the only chicken with normal feathers. He was hatched all black but has recently started to get...

This is my one rooster from all of the rescue birds I took in this year, I found him in a box with a ton of silkies and one little Cayuga duckling about six weeks ago. They were all sick but he, a black Silkie, and the Cayuga survived. He’s obviously Silkie (5 toes and hyper melanated) but mixed...

Recently I got my first broody hens and they successfully hatched 4 chicks all together! This thread is just to document their development as they grow. 3 Leghorn/Silkie crosses and 1 Midnight Majesty Maran/Silkie cross Biological parents: The father, Lucky (aka Lil' Britches), Silkie Bantam...

We have an adorable silkie who has gone broody... but the egg collectors didn’t get the memo! All of her eggs were snatched up, but she’s been kindly taking on the eggs of her Lavender Orpington BFF each day. She’s now sitting on a couple of fertile eggs! Does anyone have experience with a...

Okay... so it's been a minute...but I'm gonna try to create a post and add pictures..pause for dramatic effect... of my chicks at 8 weeks old. This is clutch of 9, lovely mixed breed chicks. Dad is a buff bearded silkie and mom is a mix also of blue silkie and very golden EE. She is a beautiful...

We live outside of the quarantine zone. Our birds have never been exposed to other birds or wild birds. Our birds reside in a very large walk in coop building with lots of airflow and access to lots of direct sunshine. All our birds are very healthy and none of them have ever been sick. All of...

I'm definitely keeping Firefly and Galinda, but am trying to decide which of the blue chicks to keep. I'm hoping for something built similarly to their father. (Not positive it's him, but suspect it is based on their dark skin (only a couple of my hens have this)... I know that's not a lot to...

Can anyone help me with this chicken? I was told she was a silkie hen but honestly looks like at least a cross to me. And is she even a she? Does she look like a roo at all with that comb? I was told she was between 1-2 years. She's the one on the far left in the pic and then there's a close up...

Hi all, I’ve been getting some eggs I think have faded speckles but I was wondering if it’s anything else? It’s not every egg but I see it every now and again. The ones laying are silkie crosses but I’m not sure what with. I just want to make sure they’re speckled and not poor shell quality :idunno

I picked up these chicks yesterday. I meant to get three. In any case... I have a bunch of new birds. The woman I got them from had beautiful frizzles, sizzles, and silkies, and I think I saw a few SLW too? Not sure all what else was there, but was hearing these called frizzles and/or...

Here are my babies. I’m aware they’re young. Just wondering everyone’s guesses. This first one is my show girl in the attached file. I have no idea what it could be. Second is all four of them. The one on the left I believe to be a boy. His name is toast. The third picture is a close up of...

I have a rooster who seems to have translucent feathers! He’s gorgeous though he’s rather rude. A Silkie/Sebright mix. Is there any possibility that this could be a Silkie trait? I’d love to know if anyone else has seen this!

I have a lovely little Silkie/Sebright mix who is confusing me just a bit. The look of the bird is more rooster like, but personality is a little more hen like plus no crowing. I’d just like a bit of help with confirming. I am beginning to believe that the bird is a rooster due to their look but...

Can first generation silkie cross chicks have silkie feathering? So this chick was a surprise hence her name SURI. My white silkie roo was about 8mos and was taken by a fox the day this chick popped out of an egg from under my broody silkie frizzle girl. I had tried everything to break her...

I got these chicks from a breeder that likely had hybrids, but she thought were pure silkies. They are 2 weeks now and look to be growing in normal feathers. They have black skin and five toes. One has the characteristic dome head. Are they pure silkies or hybrids? They are already double the...
