The "egger strain" that I referred to was about a previous posting about breeding colors to certain colors to get a certain outcome. I'm breeding easter egger chickens to blue silkies and will be working to breed-out white colors. It was a genetic question. That's where that came in. There is no "egger strain" when you're talking about pure-bred silkies.

Sorry about that confusion.

And from what I understand... there are standard size silkies, and bantams, which are smaller.

I didn't understand the last sentence so can't help you there.

Bianca! Love the name too! I've still got one splash baby and one ameraucana male that are nameless... I try to go with a name that is unisex or can be used as a male form if those who I think are pullets really turn out to be cockerels. Examples: Vera would be Veran, Prima would be Primo and Spree would be Spricket. Dolce would just be Dolce but I'm 99% sure he's a boy anyhow lol
