I crossed a black silkie roo with BB mille fleur d'uccles. (the only ladies that would give him the time of day
) What I got are the cutest little crosses, with supersweet temperaments! All the pullets are mostly pitch black, five toed, feathered feet to some degree or the other, crested, bearded and muffs, big dark silkie eyes, smooth feathers (super soft to the touch! A delight to touch and pet) black skin. THey are only about 18 weeks old but seem to be smaller than a pure silkie and a little larger than the BBMFD hens. All the pullets have a tiny bit of colour (some red and on others a little white lacing) on the hackles area. THey all started out pitch black. THe roo is growing in all kinds of very pretty red and gold and I think he is going to be absolutely gorgeous when he is full grown. He is also a sweetheart, very tame and calm. THought I would share a few pics of him to warm your hearts. I am wondering what colours I will get if I cross them back to each other... but he hasn't figured out exactly how to deal with all his ladies yet so that will have to wait. Here is Little Red Prince Zane. Oh and he has a single comb with what I think are called side sprigs? And the colour of the comb is not red and not mulberry, a mix...
surprise
And that is one and a half of the pullets just for fun...
