anyone know what would be better cross: silkie roo or hen, to something else to get general adorableness all around (assuming roo would be easiest to aquire though..)?

That would depend on your goal. If you want sexlinks, cross a Silkie rooster on a non dark skinned hen. The pullets from this cross will have dark skin and the males will have lighter skin. As far as "adorableness", Most Silkie traits are dominant so they will inherit equally whether the Silkie parent is the father or the mother.

adorableness, yay!!! didnt know you could make sexlink silkies, but then again this game hen and one or two roos, seem to be making sexlink chicks, as all females black combed, and very few males lighter.. thought they had to be specially bred for that. ??? am i right, and is reason silkie/cochin crosses seem to be majority? and is it just cause supposedly by what ive heard similar, or do they just naturally pair up, or are only ones kept out of mixings? curious what a black silkie roo would make with my supposed sid taylor hen, as she has the best black covered with sheen than i can even see covering her like an oil slick, than ive ever seen.

what is the mix of the above partially naked (naked neck, or one that is totally bald). now want to see siolkies bred into naked ones to get pure naked silkies to watch run around..
