Zoe and Lucy are Light Brahma Roo x Black Silkie hens. They are very friendly, and look nothing at all like their father other than having more typical chicken feathers rather than silkie fluff! They are bigger than a silkie--almost the size of a standard LF. They lay about 4-5 days a week, and they lay small (but not silkie small) cream colored eggs. They are a year old now and we've seen them toying with broodiness, but nothing serious. They mothers were insanely broody. I don't have a roo right now and don't want any more chicks, so I hope they behave themselves and keep laying! They're pretty birds, especially in the sunlight.
I am sad to say that I am not very good at sexing my chickens. Our "hen" is a rooster. He is gorgeous, but I am positive that he will not be giving us any eggs. He didn't crow for 6 months, and there is no wattle or spurs. I am hoping that he continues to get along with his daddy or we will have to figure out what to do with him.I meant to ask in my reply to you a minute ago if your hen was laying yet. I'd love to know what color eggs she is laying!
