Silkie Cross Thread!! PICS!!

[Naamahbengals]

Yes, i'm in Fresno, CA USA. I'll post pic later, when I go see them this week. To be honest, i'm not sure how big they are, but they aren't bantam size for sure.

Ok, let me know! I am in San Diego, so if they happen to ship chicks, that'd be perfect.

Alright, i'll ask when I go see them.

Naamahbengals,

Here's the LF sillkie(not sure M or F?, but have a smallish single comb and medium hanging wattles) that I just got today, compare to a tuftless/ beardless bantam silkie hen. I asked, unfortunately, they said no selling of day old chicks or hatching eggs

But, if you don't mind a large almost laying age hen or rooster/cockerel, I might be able to help on that

p.s. sorry this is a silkie cross thread and these aren't silkie cross, but pure(?). Just thought some might like to see a LF silkie comparison

Hmm. It is a bit bigger! I wonder how much a pullet or cockerel would cost, and to ship too, though.

Chocolate English Bantam Orp over my black sizzle hen. She is Chocolate and I hope frizzled. I rescued her peeping egg from a first time momma that changed her mind once the eggs started to move. She hatched in my pocket! So glad its a girl or at least thats what my research shows.......

Just like silkies, it depends on the bird itself to how often they will go broody in a year. Mine are the same as my silkies for broodiness and egg size/ amount. Color plays no part in a bird going broody or not.

Hi All,
Here is a pic of the silkie crossed with a guinea hen, (I think, judging by the coloration). The one in the front is the one we think is a cross. Notice, no hat, and you can slightly see the speckles in her wings.




Since then we had 3 more hatch out, but these are all silkie.


Here's one of the chicks, OK Pose for the camera now.

What a ham !!!

Is there a big version of this now?
