Silkie Cross Thread!! PICS!!

[howfunkyisurchicken]

They're Silkies. I don't have any smooths yet. So, my plan is to breed the Sizzle pullet back to her father (Silkie) and put the Sizzle cockerel over the unrelated blue and splash Silkie hens. This whole project actually started bc I really wanted to hatch some eggs, but the only hen laying was my frizzled Cochin. My only rooster is my Silkie. I hatched them, obviously, and was pleasantly surprised by how nice the ended up being. My original plan had been to sell them but then there were only the 2, and they're nice and I just kept coming up with every excuse to keep them. So now I'm ready to hunker down and hopefully make them better

Here's some pics of my expecting silkie rooster and houdan hen. I'll be posting pics when they babies hatch!

I let all my chickens free range together and ended up with 2 chicks crossed between a game hen and a white silkie rooster. These are the coolest chickens ever! Imagine a flying silkie with an attitude. Mine turned out all white and fluffy. It makes me want to bread them on purpose next spring. Has anyone tried this mix before?

My Sizzles are starting to get little crests and beards
Aren't they cute!?!

I hatched 8 buff brahma/white silkie chicks this summer. I just love that they are all different even though they have the same parents!

I've never been able to post pics but they look similar to your profile pic. What kind of chick is that?

here is one of my crooses that i would love to start making into a breed of it's own i got this one and one more that looks just like it from a hen feathered silver campine rooster and a buff silkie hen. my checklist for qualities is this 1.) dark skin like a silkie,2) five toes 3,)silver campine coloring 4.) solid black crest 5.) single comb 6.) silkie stature and build those are my priorities but once i get there i would love to get them to where they are bearded
