What breeds of chickens can cross breed? I have a Silkie and Ameracauna Rooster.
3 Red Star, 1 "Bantam" (she looks sort of like a pigeon) and 2 Ameracauna Hens.
The Bantam recently hatched and mothered a baby Silkie.
Recently, I'm pretty sure, a racoon, took the chick and the Silkie hen.
The baby silkie was the only egg that hatched. I had 2 nests of about 12 eggs and only the one egg hatched. The Silkie hen was very broody and sat day in and day out. The other "Bantam" hen, was on and off. Both nests had some of each hens eggs.
I have never seen one of the Red Star hens want to sit. They are 1-1/2 yrs. old and the Ameracauna's are not laying yet, 4 month old.
Just wondering now, if there is a possibility of any chicks hatching from the flock I have left.
