Crossing silkies with other breeds?

[ashleynicole]

My question is if you cross a Silkie with any other breed are the offspring always going to have 5 toes? I'm trying to figure out if it was my Silkie roo or my Cochin too that mated with my sebright because the babies do not look like they are supposed too if she was bread by my sebright roo....the babies have feathered feet but only 4 toes

In my experience first generation silky crosses are dark skinned and have 5 toes on each foot. I think the Cochin is the sire of your chicks.

Ok thank you when I get them out of the incubator I will post pics and maybe that will help identify as well

This is a Silkie X Buff Orpington cross. Sire is a white, hatchery stock Silkie. Mother is a BO hen. She has five toes, olive shanks, crested, with feathered legs. My wife's favorite bird.

I agree with this.
On another note, has anyone crossed Cemani's with other breeds?
