I have got some gorgeous silkie cross's that resulted from a white silkie crossed with a black bantam cochin.
Some of roosters have beautiful gold hackle feathers and some have silver hackles. The hens are mostly all black and they have the soft cochin feathers, nice puffy butts, just gorgeous !!
Anyway they have started laying now and I hatched out one chick so far and it is what looks like will be a blue.
My question is what can I expect their offspring to look like? My understanding is they could have the silkie feathering since it is the second generation?
No matter what I don't think they could be any cutier !!!
So does the silkie/cochin cross have a name?
Thanks
