I had a couple of silkie hens and they lived with my cochins. I hatched a few of the eggs, they made some pretty babies. But several turned out to be boys and I decided to sell them. Some were sizzles, some were smooth. The guy that came to buy them wanted to 2 hens too, so I let them all go. Then my cuckoo went broody and when I gave eggs to her, I included one silkie egg that I had left. It hatched a pretty black sizzle. But it turned out to be male too, so I sold it this past weekend.
