Silkie X Easter Egger Chick!

[Reptylee]

So my wife and I tried to incubate maybe a dozen blue eggs from one if our EE hens that was mating with a silkie roo and we finally scored a fertile egg! Say hello to Hapa, our first hybrid chick. It seems to have some silver and gold coloration going on. I can't wait to see how it develops! <3

OhMaGosh! They are BOTH beautiful! @Reptylee, I can't WAIT to watch your little one grow ... and @Brahma Chicken5000, your lady is stunning! Did she hatch from a colored egg, so maybe she'll lay the same? That would be really, really cool!

Yes Clair hatched from a blue egg. Unfortunately her mother is heterozygous for the blue egg gene. How do I know? Clair lays cream eggs.

I guess we cant have it all, right? Still, she's an absolutely beautiful little lady. I LOVE her silky little updo!

Wow! That is a unique little hen! Thanks for sharing. My wife and I have been looking online for EE X Silkie pictures and couldn't find many examples.
