Silkie Hen mates with few roosters

[francheska5608]

Hi

Whithin few minutes Standart cochin Roo and Silkie roo mated with silkie hen
Does it mean that both types of chicks will be born. What about size of the eggs from little poor silkie?
Thank you,

It wouldn't change the size of the eggs, the hen's genetics determine that, not the roosters'. But those might be some either seriously cute and fluffy big chicks, OR some funky fowl!!!

Good luck and post pics!!!!

Thank you,

As far as I know for other animals sperm compete or block second sperm. Apparently chickens are different.
I am new in chicken world and forum, but already want to breed standard bird with silkie's broodinees. I think Partridge Cochin might be a good candidate to start that project?

Thank you,
