What is the best breed to mix with a silkies?

 

[JessaDee]

To breed wit a Silkie or to live with one?

Dependsnon what you're lookingn for in the offspring and what gender silkie you have

Again, depends on what youre looking for. What I think would look good is most likely not what you would consider good lookong. Plus all silkie crosses will have flat normal feathering for the first generation

I just like cool look

 

[Nick the chickens lover]

do you think a Polish mix would be cool

Polish and Cochin are often crossed with silkie.
Agree, depends on what you are looking to do. I just hatched some silkie olive egger (ameraucana/Marans) crosses.
They have the black eyes and 5 toes of the silkie. Feathered legs and beards from both parents.
