Silkie Cross Breeds

[Silkie bantam 77]

What are the last two roos mixed with?? They're beautiful!

I'm not sure of the exact breed she was given to me because the previous owners couldn't keep her because they had some old english game chickens that kept fighting with her so they give me her and her sister to look after she seems to have more than one breed in her ill get a picture and put it up she's molting at the minute because of it coming up winter so shes not looking at her best hahaha

Here's some pictures I took of them, the first one is the mother and the white silkie is the father, he is super protective of the hens and he even helped in raising the chicks feeding them and taking them back to the hen when they got lost, people say to not to let a rooster with baby chicks but he loves feeding them and the hens and even feeds his sons that are pretty much fully grown, the Partridge Silkies are from the same perents, it seems like the girls end up with silkie feathers and the boys have smooth oily feathers, I was super happy about that because I like colourful roosters and silkie hens, they seem to have the best personalitys from each of the perents too, the only reason I did this mix is because I had 2 white Silkies and they are brother and sister so I couldn't breed them together haha

I have the black version that is almost identical to your white one, she is broody in my plant pot at the minute, she's only just started laying a couple days ago but I suppose that's the silkie in her haha

Really nice birds especially the roos! Love their body shape and tails! Really wonder what the non was mixed with? She looks like duck wing color? Wonder if she has some old English game bantam or something in her or maybe actually Easter Egger/ameraucana?

Does anyone have a silkie x mosaics?

Got some silver double laced Barnevelder eggs via post... a bit of a gamble... methinks there is silkie blood in there? Not what I threw the dice for but it’s going to be a cutie anyway

I have a silkie x ? chick also. She has black skin, 5 toes, and normal feathers. I would love to see pics of silkie crosses.

I cross breed silkies myself and I love them. The skin is only black if the hen is the Silkie. The mother is going to determine the skin color.

I have three silky crosses. Does anyone know what they might be crossed with? I bought them at an auction and they all came together like they were related, and all were young.
