Silkie Hen + leghorn Roo & Silkie Roo

[Thefeatherlyflock]

A friend of mine has a bunch of free roaming chickens. Her Silkie hen recently hatched 14 little Babies!




I took home 7, three black, four yellow/cream.



There are 3 potential mothers and 2 potential fathers.
2 - Cream Silkie Hens
1 - Black Silkie/Cochin Cross Hen
1 - Cream Silkie Roo
1 - Leghorn Roo


It’s very obvious that out of the four light colored chicken, half look more “Silkie” then the other half.

Type: ~Leghorn/Silkie



2 look like this, as seen above one has yellow skin 4 toes, the other mixed/gray skin 5 toes. (One male one female?? )

Type: ~Silkie/Silkie


And 2 look like this. Identical feet.

Type: ~Silkie/Silkie-Cochin

3 of these little cuties!

Can’t wait to figure out everyone’s gender!


Last photos above are from today just shy of 3 weeks old.

I hope you will keep updating your photos. I'm dying to see a leghorn/silkie/cochin mix.

Yes, please keep updating! I’m hoping to breed my silkie with my easter egger and see what happens!
