I would be very interested in some silkie mutts (if bred with larger birds).

The SLW/GLW crosses to silkie make the prettiest.

Where are you.

Congrats RR, shes pretty. I have one double lased, but couldn't get good pictures worth a hoot.

ok, here is a stooopid question folks...... can an Orpington for example breed with a silky? I mean, the whole size thing makes erm......matters....difficult right?

It certainly depends. Silkies come in LF too, that would work because both are LF in that case. Unfortunately, LF Silkies are very rare. An Orpington on a Silkie bantam likely would not work at all.

Sorry, I heard that Silkies are "true bantams" with no LF counterpart- there was a breeder trying but I never found out what happened.

My silkie male bred to all kinds of LF.

WOW! Will keep an eye on my little silky mutt then.

too bad the contest is over I just hatched one from Louie and Fiesta - just think a possible blue/green/olive laying silkie with lacing.
