silkieXcochin has nice foot feathers a bit of a top knot and smooth feathers. Probably be some colorful feathers as the bitd gets older. They are good broodies but in my experience the boys are nasty(as far as being oversexxed). No sizzles frizzle or fricklies unless you have a frizzled cochin.

No frizzles, so I guess just crosses. Still would probably be cute. We will see how it goes. It is pretty much contingent on keeping the roo long enough and having a hen go broody. DH will not allow chicks in the house anymore. Sick birds get a temporary pass, but that's it.

What about Bisque? Isn't that another name for Porcelain? I like China Doll a lot though!

I'm sorry but I couldn't help myself. Bisque makes me think of a biscuit.

I think Porcelains are much prettier than biscuits. lol I like China Doll also.

I posted my Silkie a few months ago, and no one was sure about the gender. He/she is 5 months old today and although he looks like a boy, he exhibits hen-like personalities. He/she squats down on the floor when I put my hand on him/her. He/she has not crowed yet and makes girlish coos, as well as croak-like grunts. This is my friendliest bird and I will probably keep him no matter what his/her gender, but I just want to know. He is a dark blue silkie named Raven.






Notice his/her comb. And here are his/her foot feathers just for fun! They're not as fluffy as other silkies' though.

I dunno but I don't think a boy would squat. I think its a girl!

Anyone see my post about the crest shape? I figured it got lost in the midst of this weight discussioN heheheh.

my friends potential 'rooster'. do roosters have to have a swept back crest or can it be perfectly rounded?

Most of my boys are round. Takes me about 4 months to know sex. Some times 5.

Such a great day at the Sussex county poultry show!! I came home with some special little additions today

Three of my Blue and splash babies all snuggled up

Close up of one of my pretty new ladies

Beautiful lady! Cute chicks!!

are any one working on any project colors i know there the usuall but it always nice see something new

I love the color some are calling lavender/partrige. Getting ready to give it a go. I was going to do Isabel/porcelain but like the other color better.

Who else likes "Wedgewood"??? Apparently "porcelain" won't fly with with APA because we lack mottled genes. Wedgewood was suggested as an alternative. I LOVE it. Would love to see some support to get a variety name going. "Self blue cream" won't fly, so I'm told, because it's too long. "Blue cream" is acceptable to the APA but that makes no sense genetically. Would love to see us get somewhere on a workable name.

I don't like blue cream either. Never heard of Wedgewood.

I like bisque and China Doll too except maybe not a good roo name.

Like BisQuick!!!

Too funny. Bisque is an unglazed porcelain in dolls, of course it is also a fancy French soup!

I like anything that has that lavender color in it! Call it whatever, I'm in!!!

Thanks PeepBlessed! I always thought the same thing about ShowGirls!

I'm not an expert but it looks like a girl to me also. At 5 months old, if it was a boy, shouldn't there be streamers showing already?

I know. The first thing that came to my mind was biscuit and I couldn't lose it no matter how hard I tried.
