I'm curious to see - what is everyone's favorite hybrid and why? I have a CL roo that I just love - but he is way too colorful to breed for anything but fun.

I was thinking that a CL cross with a white silkie would be precious - does anyone have a picture of one? Then again I like the idea of a SBEL too. I'm hatching some eggs from a couple of his EE groupies who are prolific layers, but I don't expect those chicks to win any beauty pageants.

My favorite cross is Legbar x Ameraucana.

Have any of you guys crossed silkies with cream legbars?
Edit: I just saw 1 on the cream legbar thread

Have any of you guys crossed silkies with cream legbars?

I haven't hatched any as of yet, but I do have 2 CL pullets in my Silkie pen with a Blue Silkie Cock. One pullet just started laying so I thought about hatching some. They would be sexlink by head spot and skin color.

I have a chick I just hatched that is a cross of Cream Legbar male and a Barred Rock x Blue Laced Red Wyandotte female (she is black and white barred just like a barred rock and has a rose comb)

The chick I expected to hatch black with a white head spot but instead it hatched yellow with chipmunk she also seems to have a rose comb. SUPER cute chick, but I nevr expected her down color. Is this coming from the Blue Laced Red Wyandotte side of the hen mother?

I will post pics of hen and chick here shortly.

you had 50% chance of this happening, why? let me tell you why

Mothers genome was E/eb B/- she is Silver based S/ Ig+/Ig+
Fathers geneome is e+/e+ B/B s+/s+ ig/ig

you were expected to see 50% E/e+ B/B S/s+ Ig+/ig Males(Solid Barred like mother) chick with a headspot BUT also expected to hatch 50% e+/eb B/B S/s+ Ig+/ig males and e+/eb B/- s+/- Ig+/ig females, by the look of that chick looks like a female

double sexliks, b+/- and id+/- females B/b+ and Id/id+ males, both thanks to Extended black from Blue silkie rooster and Fibromelanotic from silkie father, while these genes are not sexlinked(blue and fibromelanotic) they help alot, Extended black helps B to express and id+ helps fibromelanotic to fully express

Do you get bluer eggs? Or bigger blue eggs? What do you like about that hybrid? And what color Ameraucana?

Sorry so many questions.

I'm getting ready to order a variety or new "wives" for my too colorful CL and would love some suggestions on what to get.
