Silkies mixed with EEs

This is one of my Silkie/EE crosses that I hatched a while ago.

Hi! I have silkie feathered green-eggers that started with a Silkie cross.
Here's the details:

I hatched some eggs from a blue Silkie and this IDEAL girl (she was a mis-sexed 'male added for warmth'):

I guess she'd've been called an EE, the other 'added for warmth' chicks looked EE-ish (multi-colored, bearded, willow legs).
And got a couple of these:

Mated those Silkie Feathered Green-Egger girls back to a splash Silkie and got these:

They lay blue-green eggs as well.


That's not *exactly*what you were asking for though. Unless your EE girl carries the silkie feather gene, you won't get silkie feathering the first generation.
I didn't take any pics of the regular feathered ones.
Good luck! I bet they'll be awesome!
Do you think I can buy some of your silkies that lay the colored eggs ?
