I wanna create a much larger silkie chicken, and I want it as large as it can be, because why not? Yes I will be looking and breeders and try to pick out a jersey giant hen that seems peaceful but will a silkie rooster even be big enough to mate with a jersey giant hen? Im not trying to be funny here but I dont know how good it would be to have a girl as an "alpha" of the flock...
 
No, he would probably not be able to mate with her. I have a cochin bantam rooster, and he can't even mate with my EE who is pretty small.
@MysteryChicken made giant silkies.
I'm working on Giant Silkies. Haven't made them yet, I will be doing a back crossing my F1 Giant Silkie cross rooster to some LF Silkie hens soon.

He should be able to breed her, my silkies successfully breed my Brahmas.
