New babies incoming, this will bring my flock to 18. Also anyone crossed EEs with silkies? I think it would AMAZING to have silkies that blue and green eggs.

Mypetchicken has a silkie x EE cross which is called a silked easter egger. They look like silkies but apparently their eggs aren’t usually colored

Last spring (2020) we hatched four EE/Silkie crosses, but only because our EE hen was our Silkie roo's favorite girl...

They were interesting birds to say the least!

Oh wow, seems kinda pricey, especially if they aren't all laying colored eggs.

You could always try breeding your own!

I’m planning to do a wtb x silkie cross next year.

That sounds exciting! Can't wait to see what you end up with!

I am thinking about it. I only work part time, so could be a fun project.
