Hmm... I think it depends on whether single combs are a dominant gene or recessive. I think if we bred to our largest silkie males that have correct combs (and no other disqualifications) eventually you could "cull/sell" the chicks that hatch with single combs.

Can you give us the name of the feed store? Or the place you are ordering directly from? Surely they gave you a name of the place you're ordering from?

the feed store is a family operated feed store and when i called em yesterday they just said the place they get them is in CA thats all i know

Fascinating. We we're raising the usual bantam silkies for a friend, blue and splash, that --I'd like to hear how your breeding program goes. I'd also like to hear more about the crossing of colors to create others. We are going to be keeping 1 blue and one splash chick--It's too much to hope that they'll end up one hen and one roo, but crossing my fingers. I'm keeping the biggest and the smallest to improve my chances.

Does the feed store have a phone number, email or mailing address that we can use to contact them by?
