Silkie crossed Americaunas??

Oh, sorry.
If I'm not mistaken, MPC is the only hatchery, as of now, that carrys the silkied EE.

That’s okay!! That’s cool though.

Maybe they got rid of them, idk. I went to the funky chicken page and the colored layer page

Now I need to figure out who had them, because its going to bother me.

Was it My Pet Chicken?

Some will have silkies feathers. Some will look like a normal EE, but it'll have fluffy legs, and a head poof, but the probabilities are endless.

@Pampered chicken girl hatched out some.

The silkie gene is recessive. The father is a silkie and the mother an EE. Meaning, the offspring will be heterozygous for the silkie gene. Meaning, the chicks will have normal feathering but carry the silkie gene

Thanks for the tag!

I have a bunch of silkie/EE crosses but never have had any come out silkied, it's a work in progress. Here's some of mine, first and second one us half and half and the 2nd and last 2 are ¾silkie ¼EE, last 2 are brother and sister. I have more but no good pics

Could've been, I know they have some but I could have sworn (and its nots polite to swear) that i remember seeing them on Meyer.
I could be thinking of the melenistic ees...
