Crossing a Silkie

[SarahFair]

What would I come out with if I mixed a Silkie roo with a Silver Laced Wyandotte hen?

 

[PeepsInc]

I have 2 half silkie half light brahmas, & there ugly mutts.

 

[SarahFair]

haha whats ugly?

Did they come out with the 'down feathers' or more normal?

 

[racuda]

Silkie feathering is recessive, so the offspring should have normal feathers.

So what does a silkie pass on?

 

[PeepsInc]

There both bearded with a small top hat. More like a poof of silkie fluff. One has yellow legs & 5 toes. The other, blue legs & 4 toes.

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

Crest, muff/beard & polydactyly are dominant, so F1 offspring should have these traits.
