Silkie Large Fowl

Would it be hereditary? I've never heard of this outside the Breda breed but it would be extremely beneficial for her breeding project.

Breda chickens still have a comb.

Possibly. I don't know a whole lot about it.
I posted a thread to get answers about this particular chick. So, just waiting to see what other people say about it.

Breda Gene is considered combless.

Tawas City.

Ok, My friend asked about the mother of the Chick as well. She wants to know what height the hen grew to be and whether or not the chick is a cross.

Chick is purebred Silkie, no crossing.

I don't have a measurement on the mother, but last time I weighed her she was 4¼lbs. The mother is bearded, which isn't typical of LF Silkies, but only using what I have.

Thats totally fine. Does the Chick have any other siblings in case she wants to breed them together? The mother is a beauty btw

It's a lone chick, but has 2 half siblings, from a project I'm doing. I'm keeping them.
Thanks.

Her family wants to raise a nice large bird for eggs and I'm going to work on a cross breeding project next year as well so I may use one of her birds offspring. She's deciding between Australorp and Black Jersey Giant. She's trying to produce a very large fibro bird with black feathers, minimal to no comb, Silkie feathers and well formed polydactyly.
