Silkie Cross Thread!! PICS!!

[FunnyFarmer80]

This is Foghorn and Leghorn. They were 3 weeks old in these photos. I have no clue what sex they are yet. I was told they are Silkie bantams crossed with Australorp. Anyone else have any clue what they might be? Grey one is larger than the black, has more of a poofy mohawk and seems more outgoing.

Does anyone have a pic of a Silkie x Cochin adult?

This is my Polish Bantam Frizzle x Silkie Cockerel, he's about 6 months old

This boy is by my Bantam Pekin Roo out of one of my Silkies, although I do have one Sizzle and it may have been her egg

Couple of cockerels from my black Silkie hens x red Cochin rooster, about 4 months old now. And a cockerel from my Delaware hen x Cochin roo attempting a photobomb on the right in the second pic...

Is this the Black Silkie hen x Red Cochin Rooster cross?.. this is just weird, Red Cochins have sex linked Id(dermal Inhibitor) and yellow shanks, so this cross SHOULD have produced cockerels with yellow shanks as Id/id+ males show yellow shanks, something is restricting Id full dermal inhibition, Could you post pics of Red cochin Sire ?

My Cochin roo. Both black cockerels are from the same cross, though I have one bearded Silkie hen and one non bearded Silkie hen. The Cochin in my only roo. The only other adults I have are a Delaware hen and the d'Uccle hen in this pic (one of the Silkies all the way in the back, too).

Sorry, I also forgot to mention he's a bantam, though I don't know if that matters. I haven't studied up on genetics much.

More cockerels from that pairing. There are 22 left (with a few pullets in there), and all have the same coloring (minus the leakage on the pullets), right down to the gray skin.
