You can't get a Silkie by crossing two different breeds.

You could get offspring with Silkied plumage if both parents carry the recessive genes.

Yes, if you want to know how they'll look exactly. Why do you think the chicks could have silkked feathering?

I’m not sure I just can’t find anything on the internet of what the 2 could look like or any info on that so I was confused I guess. It kept saying mixing a bantam could get a silkie so I was just confused
