Sizzle/satin cross breeding

[reddirtbirds]

Ok! I have the opportunity of adding a sizzle roo to my flock (either barnevelder/sizzle or silkie/polish) and I’m wondering what the results would be from crossing that rooster with my smooth orpingtons, OE, and barnevelder might be. Anyone have photos of similar crosses?

You'll get normal and frizzle feather types

Adding to this thread now that the rooster has been quarantined and added to my flock I found out from the breeder that he’s 3/4 silkie 1/4 Serama. While he’s a small guy he’s pretty huge for that mix. Would the 3/4 silkie feathering genetics affect the feather type of the chicks he fathers with smooth feathered hens? As in would the chicks me much softer looking/feeling, and would their flight feathers likely be soft? Idk much about silkie genetics since this is my first silkie I’ve ever used for breeding!

here he is peaking in at me finishing the coop cleaning

oh need 2 silkie genes to have silkie feathering, so if you don't have 2 silkies parents or at the least 2 heterozygous parents, you'll only have normal feathered chicks
