hi im new to this too do you know how to get pictures on your posts?????

You all are killing me with all these sizzles. I have silkies and now I think I want a few sizzles to go along with them. I found a lady close but  she only has 1st gen. sizzles and the color of their skin and combs are way off. Would it still be worth it to get a few to breed to my silkies? I have 3 pullets and 3 cockerels and I know I need more girls but I can't find any nice birds, that is why I was thinking sizzles, she is only asking 5 per chick. But would I get the sizzle from a 1st gen sizzle to silkie breeding or would it breed it right back out again? New to this and none of mine are old enough to breed yet, only 13 weeks old.

Yes I would say it is worth it if you have dark skinned silkies to breed them back to You can improve them. It will just take a bit of time and effort. How old are the chicks? You should know if they are rough or smooth by the time they are 1 week - 10 days old.

What did she use to breed them?

She had a silkie hen and bred to a sizzle cochin of some kind. Some of the chicks are sizzle and some are smooth but they have a lot of red to their faces and combs and she couldn't tell me how many toes and some had yellow legs with no feathers. They were very cute but I don't know if I want to try and breed the faults out of them. I can only have so many chickens and I think I would get to attached to babies and hatching them and my husband would kill me. I may just have to wait until next spring and try to talk him into it then. The lady said she had more hatching, so we'll see.

Up on the posting toolbar you will see an icon of a picture, it's right next to the icon of a film strip, which is right next to the icon of the paper clip, hahaha. Just to give you a point of reference. It is the "Insert Image" button. Click on it and post away. Welcome.

If I breed this roo with this hen can anyone tell me what the possibilities might be with their chicks? I love her smooth lacy looking feathers. He is the only roo I have.

Sorry I can't seem to get this picture to load right side up.

The chicks will either be silkied or smooth. No barbed feathers with these two.

I really like your smooth hen!

I do too! I think she is so beautiful. I am in the process of trying to get some of Catdance eggs for her to sit on as she has gone broody and my boy is still a cockerel and not ready to be a daddy.
