Blue Rosecomb Roo x Silkies

[KFT_FARMZ]

I have a Blue Rosecomb Bantam Roo over a White & Buff Silkies, Im wondering what their offspring will look like when they get older. I have 4 chicks that Buff momma hatched out & 4 eggs in the incubator. Most of them have 5 toes with black feet and face. Is there anyway I can keep the fibro skin on offsprings if I would find me a nice roo of these F1’s? Backcrossing back to their mommas?

Use a cockerel from the white Silkie and breed it to the buff hen and take a cockerel from the buff Silkie and breed it to the white hen, that will give you the best genetic options for fibro skin.
Expect the first (f1) generation to be regular/smooth feather and when you breed the f1 cockerels back to the silkie hens you will statisically get fifty percent smooth and fifty percent silkie feathering.
