Hello,
hope my english is good enough to explain what i need to know.

a while back i bought some Serama eggs for much money (100 british pounds)
the rooster who fertalized them looks very close to the real Malaisian Serama ,just beautiful
here you can see him

they were shipped from Great Britain to Germany and arrived with all the air cells broken, so not one even started developing.
then this breeder offered to meet me half way and she brought me 15 more eggs in her car.
out of these there seems only one fertile :(

now if it hatches (god i hope it does) what do i do ?

i have a flock of silkied feathered Seramas so is it possible to breed the straight feathered back with the one wich hopefully hatches regardless if it turnes out to be a rooster or a female ?
or will it always be a 50/50 chance if i get silkied or straight feathered ?
 
silky feathers is recessive, so you can work with it but silky feathered chciks will popup in the future, and you have to watch the smooth feather quality. You can always do backcrosses to your smoothfeathered bird.
