Anyone else ever compare a cross section of a silkie skull versus a normal chicken skull? The brains are shaped very different.


We always picture aliens as having huge brains sticking out of their skulls. Silkies do have huge brains sticking out of their skulls and are an old breed of unknown origin. Maybe we got it wrong and aliens aren't humanoid. Maybe they are really silkies.

Add the black skin & black blood in there~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Blood is red. The skin, meat, and bones though are black.

The father of these was a hatchery buff silkie. Using the big boy I have would give a bit more feathering on legs and a bit more raised feathers on the crest. The crest is more like just a bit longer feathers. If all I was trying to add was a crest, I'd use a polish. No leg feathers to deal with, or grey skin and meat in the males. Silkie would give the chance for blue earlobes, though. I think a giant silkie that lays blue eggs would be kind of cool.

They have a stance & type reminds me of a Cornish
