Sebright/Silkie cross...?

[maus]

Im just wondering what they might look like. I dont have any plans to cross them, Im just curious. Would that work or is there a gene that will mess things up ? Does anyone have a pic of a Silkbright ?

This is Josephine she is my seabright silkie cross, she is 3 months old.

Not a bad looking bird.

Too bad she's useful only for hatching and rearing.

Bad egg layer, small eggs, and not a purebred.

Might be just me, but I'd never bred non-pure unless I was going for an olive egger.

Wow! What a tactless critique!

I think she is just striking in appearance

Josephine is actually a good layer she lays green eggs almost daily and they have the thickest whites out of all my girls.

Not to be mean but a silkie and a sebright don't lay blue or green eggs, so your pretty girl must have a little more in her.

Quote: Actually I got some Silkies from a feedstore that layed bright blue/green eggs.

LOL yes some of mine do also, but I made them that way. Normal silkies do not, they lay a light cream colored egg.

I read somewhere that old strains of Silkies lay blueish eggs. It would make sense since their earlobes are blue.

Wow! What a tactless critique! I agree, I hope Urucuba *meant* it nicer than it came out.
She's a prettypretty bird and green blue/eggs too --- yaaay!
I am quite fond of non-silkie Fm birds.

Silkie/Seabright chick update. We had another one hatch on 2/25, her name is Quinn. Pip (the older sibling that you’ve seen previously) hatched 2/12. You can see little Quinn has some yellow under her beak, other than that, they look like their Seabright father lol
