That is a beautiful rooster.

Thanks! I love him! He was my first ever roo! I'd be happy to send you some hatching eggs.

Oooh, I love the cuckoo.

I have a hen sitting on four cuckoo maran/silkie eggs, due this week. I hope they turn out to look like that.

That hen produced chicks like that twice before, but they were boys. I am so excited to get this one. She is special because I lost the hen just a few weeks ago to an injury.

She is the gray hen.

Anyone know what the little yellow one is? I have two and they are awesome moms.

Oh I'm so glad to have found this thread! I just started hatching Silkie X Serama! I'm excited to see what they grow into!
I've only got 2 of them... but there are another dozen due to hatch over the next couple weeks

This is my first time crossing these 2 so I'm no expert. I only have 2 right now but these two are totally different!
They both have a little fuzz bubble crown like silkies, they both have a little fuzz on their legs (although the yellow one has significantly less), and they both have the extra toes. However one has dark skin - although not as dark as a purebred silkie chick, it's more blue than black - and one has yellow skin although it has bits of dark spots around her knees and beak where it meets her face. The dark chick is also much closer to the size of the serama than the yellow silkie mix. I'm wondering about color genetics too because my silkie is white and the serama roo is tan, so the "easter egg" chick color genetics are showing up in the silver silkie since neither parent has dark feathers. I'm really excited about this little mini project! It'll be fun to see how they all feather out and hopefully I'll get to breed them and see what the second generation looks like!


So I've got 2 crosses, one yellow and one silver

Silver silkie cross


Best face ever "Put . Me . Down!"






Yellow silkie cross, but this one is more cream than yellow, you can sorta see the difference up against the yellow serama







The whole gang (2 crosses and 4 purebred serama)- The cream/yellow silkie mix is the biggest of the bunch where as you can hardly see the size difference between the silver silkie mix and the serama

I see a lot of chickens in this thread that look just like my little Midnight.

I've got a bounty of silkie mutt roosters, but I'll just share this guy.

And my favorite girl, Houdini.

These are the kids from our first hatch. They're 16 weeks old. I only have a silkie roo, so every chick will be silkie or silkie-mix. We really weren't sure what we'd end up with, but these three turned out to be gorgeous (yes, I am a gushing mom)!

This Paddy (aka Mr. Padmums), he's 1/2 delaware and has spotted legs:

This is McNugget (aka Nugget), he's 1/2 BO/EE and wouldn't pose for the pictures:

This is Runty, she's 1/2 australorp and has the most beautiful, soft, black feathers. They're so shiny, her back actually looks green, blue and purple.

Please share your beautiful silkie-mutt pictures.

i have a silkie X australorp just like that!! she's so soft can sute witha mini afro!!
