Silkies - They’re simply SPECTACULAR!

[PioneerChicks]

Thanks! Is it also okay to breed fathers to daughters? Sorry for all the questions. I don't have any silkie breeders to talk to! Lol

I have heard it is, and the next generation will be 50 percent more like the father.

@ChloeSilkie08 this past year I sold day-old strait-run silkie chicks for around $6 each. But I did make sure to mention I was a 4-Her. Here I have competition with the local hatchery, which sells black and white silkies, but I sell blue and blue-buff mixes. And this year chicks sold for high prices.

I believe so, but I am no expert! I am just getting started in this as well. Hopefully others will respond!

Yes @PioneerChicks did! What colors of silkies do you have?

What will I get if I breed a silver partridge silkie hen to a blue or white rooster?
