Creating Experimental Black Crele Chickens (Different Genetics, new variety)

[MysteryChicken]

We didnt know we were rescuing but they werent the only ones that we basically saved.

Now, even tho they are fenced in, theyre still free ranging in a sense. Plus the silkies have cover for obvious reasons.

Okay.

I have supposed bantam EE x silkies plus 1 brahma x ee. So yes.

We want to get turkeys next year so I would absolutely love that

Here's a turkey in a kiddy pool. They love the water, just as messy as ducks.

Here's a couple large Silkies with a Bantam Silkie for size comparison.

The Silkies were 13-14 weeks old when I took this picture.

My first batch of silkies were white splashed and idk one is kinda blackish.

Then I for some reason was given a bunch of black silkies lmfao. Theyre little little. And fuzzy.

I have lots of white silkies, just began getting colored Silkies. I have one Porcelain, Partridge, & a Black Silkie. The Porcelain has some wicked floof on his head.

I have one that kinda looks like yours named Prince Charming. A beautiful non crested silkie named snow white. And the Alpha Ricky who walks in circles.

First image of your single combed silkie looks like our silkie Mr. Evil.

My next project will be making silkies the size of brahmas. What do you think of the idea?

What would you think if I introduced my Wheaten crele coloring into silkies?

How do you do that?
Also. Out of my small young silkies. Theres a blackish gray one that has their feet completely surrounded in feathers. Is that something that happens with silkies? Hes the only one like that.
Like it reminds me of the horses with the big furry feet lmfao.

I got my silkies first.
Then I got 10 of a mixed flock of
Black Australorps, Buff Orpington, Asia Blacks and Silver/Gold Laced Wyandotte.

They were big so we took them in at night. Put them on the roost. They went to bed and we came out in the morning and they were all perfectly fine. They still kinda stay seperated when out and about but they sleep together and everything else fine. They only fight over bugs and worms. Nothing agressive tho.
