As soon as the snow has melted,or at least most of the way, I can set up my breeding area so I can begin.

I don't know if this has been said or not, but there are large variations of silkies. Not in America, but European countries. We have some family in Denmark who used to breed both bantam and large silkies.

It has been said, but the ones being bred by Mysterychicken are extra large due to them having Brahma blood in them

There's large Silkies in the US too actually. Here's my boy who jump started the project.

I've done my research into silkies, before I began this. Yes, LF silkies are more common in European countries, & Asia, but not that common in the US.

But the goal is to create 3ft tall Silkies, that are heavy weights.

Will be adding Malay to the bloodline this year.

I will try to breed my line of Giant Brahma to my Aseel line and see if I can get a Giant Aseel type

Sounds like a neat experiment. I actually had a similar idea of breeding Malay, to Brahma.
