hey everyone

my hen is a silkie sussex cross and i was wondering what the correct name was?

her mom was a light sussex and her dad was a buff silike
she has the body of a sussex but she is black with buff colouring around her neck and she has a tuft of hair instead of a comb and she doesnt have any wattles

thanks

A mutt.

Really, if one thing is crossed to another, there's no name besides a A x B, or "mutt," or "crossbred," etc

- Sex Links and Easter Eggers have such names because they're well known crossings with certain parents.

Sussy? Silkex?
Lol, no proper name for it but you can make one up!

because her dad was buff and mom was silver it would be called a SEX-LINK

On a british site about chickens.There was a discussion about the silkie/sussex cross. It is a sex link and they had a name for them, I think they call them golden tops or something similiar,not sure about the name. I will see if can find that.

hmmm...broody as a silkie but big as a light sussex.oh wait,are these only bantam or do they make a large fowl version?i don't have silkies,could they breed a large sussex because the few sussex i have seen were huge.
