I have this rooster that is a silkie bantam mixed with a belgium d'anver I believe. He has 5 toes, blue skin, feather feat. Is he APA recognized?

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

Crossbreeds are not recognized.

A lot more than 5 birds. I think it is more like 25 each of cock, hen, cockerel and pullet, they have to breed true and be very similar in type. Each breeder has to have been working on them for at least 5 years. Took white serama several tries to be recognized. And there is a not insubstantial fee to be paid (certainly enough to discourage people tryhing to gt random crossbreds recognised, but not a breeder seriously working on a long-term project.

Making a breed is a lifelong project. If you like crossbreeds, just enjoy them for what they are and don't worry about them not being pure bred.
