Mottled Silkie with Blue/Green eggs Project.

You wouldn't get a mottled silkie right away in the F2 generation. The comb, skin color and general body shape have to be correct for that. You may not get a correct comb in the F2 generation.

Yeah but need to keep as much correct as possible or you're going to hit a major snag later

Huh was planning to only use the crosses that have the most silkie traits in them. Will sell or cull ones that dont have the correct traits.
