Can I be so bold as to inquire why you would want to breed a LF brahma to a Silkie, there could be several issues here but........... hey to each is own, Just wondering.

I posted this on the cochin thread but I started thinking this would be a better place for what I need. Here's what I put: Do any of you guys do artificial insemination with your chickens? I'm trying to breed a LF brahma to a silkie but they are too big for the little silkie hen. I tried doing it but apparently I don't know what I am doing. I can't get the males stuff. I need to know what technique to use. So if any of you guys do this please share with me how to go about this.
I would not say it is normal but it happens with old birds occasionallyI haven't had my Cornish bantams long enough to understand the breed. So I have a question. I have one pullet that can't seem to tolerate the cold. My others do fine but she looks like she's going to die if she doesn't get warmed up. I have a 100W bulb hanging close over the perch for her to warm herself but it doesn't seem to help. She still gets so cold she stops eating. If I bring her in the house to warm up a day or two, she's fine. She isn't sick, per se. Is this a normal occurance with the breed? Thank you.
For the Asian market-- most are using Cornish bantams over silkie hens...Hello
I was talking to my partner in this hobby or passion or addiction. With chickens. And we both have talked about breeding the Silkie and Cornish. How can this be done. And what results will we get.
Well the end product would be a large dark meat bird. Which most can sell as a pheasant. I really do not seeing the dark skin and meat breeding on. But thru selection it is possible.
And like all industry conversations about the Cornish X. It is very secret. So what answers we get. Are mostly on this site. And others like it.
I am open for any replys on this....Thanks.....Nick
