He is like a giant Mr Noodles!

I guess you can compare him to the cockerel you used to have.

He looks almost like Bigfoot, my Mille Fleur D'uccle/OEGB X Silkie cross. I need to get updated pictures of him.

Noodles is a Mille Fleur D'uccle and white silkie. Noodles dad, Cotton, would make a good start to a giant silkie project! He is just a typical TSC silkie. Come from the mix bantam bin!

Wait what? You can do AI on a chicken? How would you do that on a chickens?

It's fairly easy, at least withhow I was taught and I've had a few successful fertilization

The mother of Bigfoot was a silkie hen, but not sure which one the mother is.

Maybe I should try to make Mille Fleur colored silkies now I want a mille silkie!

Do you have any Buff silkies you can cross to your D'uccles?

Do you have any Buff silkies you can cross to your D'uccles?

No, I am not a fan of the buff silkies. I do have a porcelain D'uccle hen.

Just so you know, your giving me lots of ideas! I'm not sure my husband would condone.

I don't have Buff, but want some.

That'll work, you just now need to figure out if any of your silkies are split for lavender. My silkie rooster SnuggleBug is split to lavender, & I have a Porcelain D'uccle/Silkie cross hen. I need to get new pictures of her.
