Silkie mix ideas?

[pineapple416]

So I've been trying to hatch Silkie chicks unsuccessfully for a while, with only a couple hens, so I thought I would try breeding Silkie mixes with the rest of my flock and see what hatches.
I was wondering if people have suggestions or experiences with what breeds and or color combinations would be the cutest.
Thanks for the suggestions this is just fun for me to think about, probably won't do any real hatching for at least another month.

(Also if you have any suggestions and tips on hatching with incubators that would be great, because I've only done it once years ago unsuccessfully, and am going to try hatching with both hens and our incubator.)

Thanks again everyone


Here's my rooster Ollie, I think he's a mix of colors, but definitely some partridge in there I think.

So here's the options of hens I've got in my flock.
(If you don't feel like reading my long winded question at this point feel free to just skip it and give your own suggestions)
1. Silkie (white) - named Sweetie-

2. Frizzled Cochins (black) -named Anita, also have 2 other hens-

3. Cochins (1 black, 1 blue) -named Olivia and Hurricane-

4. Sebright (Gold) -named Primrose-

5. Easter Eggers/Americaunas (Brown, blue, splash, and a mixed gold/blue color) -named Amelia, Eleanor, Millie, and Mable-

6. Orpington (buff) -named Annabelle-

7. Andalusian (splash) -named Pearl-

8. Maran (splash) -named Opal-

9. Sussex (speckled) -named Edith-

10. Welsummer (Brown) -named Ruby-

11. Delawares -named Ellen and Bethany-

12. Australorps (black) -named Piper and Willow-

I think a silkie x a frizzled Cochin or a Cochin would be cool! I wonder what a silkie sebright would look like?

If you breed your Silkie cock to hens with white or yellow skin the chicks will be sex linked. The males will hatch out with white or yellow skin and legs. While pullets will hatch out with black skin and legs.
Cockerel on the left with orangeish legs and pullet in the right with dark legs

Silkie x Easter Egger, Clair
Was not sex linked, both her and her brother have dark skin

Silkie x Red Sex Link, Bianca
She has dark skin while her brother has light skin
