Cross Breeding?

[Duckbreeder2020]

What would happen if I breed a Cochin to a naked neck Silkie? What would the chicks look like? Would they be naked neck to?

If the showgirl has a bowtie, then half will have a bowtie and half will have full covered necks.

If she has no bowtie, then all will have bowties.

None will have silkie feathers though

Yes, some of the chicks will have naked necks.
They might all have naked necks.

JacinLarkwell was talking about two different degrees of naked neck--one has a tuft of feathers that looks like a "bowtie" at the base of the neck, and the other even more naked, and doesn't have the bowtie tuft of feathers.

Looking at which version the naked neck chicken has can tell you whether all or just half of their chicks will have naked necks.

Other than the question of naked necks, the chicks will probably look a lot like Silkies except for not having the Silkie-type feathers. They are likely to have the crested head, 5th toe, dark skin, and odd-looking comb that Silkies have. If the Silkie has a beard, the chicks are also likely to have beards.
