I have both Bearded and Non-Bearded. My Non-Beardeds come from my SG's that are Non-Bearded to a Non-Bearded Silkie Roo. The Bearded are Non Bearded and Bearded SG's to Bearded Silkie Roo's. My favorite is the Bearded. I also seem to get more "I want that one.." from people here buying Silkies when they see the SG's on the Bearded babies... soo... I'm heading in an all Bearded direction. My Non-Bearded Silkie Roo puts heavy leg feathering and good toes on the SG's soooo... trying to use that for that end and then breed back to the Bearded that have a better Top Hat... That is what makes it fun!! And unlike Horses it doesn't take years for 1 cross to work out. lol.
