Mix Giant Jersey and Silkie...

[fasschicks]

I am looking at picking up a pullet that is a giant Jersey and Silkie mix. Was just wondering if anyone out there has a laying hen of this mix? If so, do you have a picture to share? What kind of egg production do they have (how many per week, size, color, etc.)?

Would love to hear from you. Thanks.

Sorry. We haven't tried a Jersey Giant/Silkie mix yet. We usually do lots of crosses with Ameraucana. We have tons Ameraucana crosses if you want to see some let me now

That would probably be very interesting! Is it a full size Silkie or bantam that is crossed?

I am not sure if it was a bantam or not. The lady just sent me pictures and it has the body like a GJ and all black (only smaller body size) and it has the silkie head. It's got a bunch of "fuzzies" on the back too. It is only 3-1/2 months old right now, so I think it will look a little different in a couple of months. It is strangely cute! I have decided to include this one along with my EE and EE/Delaware mix. Should make for an interesting group of girls. Will be fun to see what it looks like as an adult and what kind of eggs it lays.
