silkie BCM cross

[CANDLE98]

I have 3 little silkies that are a cross with a BCM roo. Do you think that I could get a dark egg laying silkie?

No. Crossing a BCM to any other breed ruins the egg color - The most you'll get, especially with such light layer, is a normal brown color. Plus you have to consider size difference, comb difference, skin color difference, then breed back in the silkied feathering, the crest, the optional beard, etc.
