Silky hatch-along and OdoBan on eggs experiment

[2ndTink]

I've heard tales of people trying to cross Silies onto full size brahmas or cochins. That is an up and coming asap project.

Pictures will be required! That sounds interesting.

Wow, we had one on accident and she started having leg troubles about 19 / 20 weeks so we processed her. Having them over a year is amazing!

If I could just get them to use a next box. They lay where ever they happen to be when the urge hits.

I guess this can be arranged with an assistant. You do understand this will be a test tube baby operation? No way the little Silky rooster is going to get a 10lb hen to squat and hold still.

So like Easter everyday, you get your own custom egg hunt courtesy of your chickens

Oh, I was thinking more of chick and grow out pictures

With two assistants maybe get photos and a video.

I have a full grown silky roo coming from a local customer of mine. He is a bad boy with a toddler daughter. So Re homing him here. Lot's of my layers went to him so I'll gladly fix his problem rooster.

I won't tag her but @ mysterychicken is trying to create a giant silkie, or was a few months ago when I was talking to her about it.

I sort of think there's a point where you don't call it a silkie anymore as the name denotes a smaller, fluffy, chicken, not a cyborg lol.

Yes. It should be called another breed altogether I think. A big breed with leg feathers and silkie type feathering. 1/4 silkie and the rest a combo of Cochin and Brahma genes for size.

I think I told you about my neighbor farmer lady who took my little white silky roo to save him from being culled. She has a flock of Brahmas. I don't know what kind of Brahmas but they're huge. She used to laugh at how he tried to figure out ways to jump on them. Months later, she said they would crouch down for him, but they were so big so all he was doing was squirting his "junk" all over their backs.
