2nd gen from cochin x silkie. If she didn't have a black head on her, I'd be even more pleased. That body feather color isn't too bad. Small little silkie comb on her. Fairly good body shape, bit long in body is all. I think she'll be going with my red headed cockerel for breeding this year.

She's absolutely gorgeous! Would you consider her a satin silkie or like you have stated previously, a cochin silkie mix? She's a beauty either way!🧡

To me a satin silkie has been bred back to silkies enough that the body type is full silkie. She's not to that point yet. Her mother is half cochin and isn't as silkie looking as her black half sister who has been throwing chicks that look silkie.

This pullet will probably not have all her chicks look full silkie. Well full show line worthy silkie. Most of my 3/4 silkies look better most hatchery silkies.

I'll keep the best for future breeding.

What is it that causes seemingly so many penciling/lacing to have the black head?
She's gorgeous in colors and penciling/lacing!!!
