What color eggs might a hen lay....that has been crossed between a black Araucana roo....over a pure silkie? Anyone have any ideas please?
I hatched this combo and it is so pretty and interesting. All black...black skin....10 toes.....black eyes/beak......and appears to be rumpless having only a smidgon of a tail feather or 2 at just over 3 weeks old.
Regular feathers unlike a silkie.... and LONG legs...some light feathering on the top of the legs only..LOL
If a hen I wonder if she will lay colored eggs or cream eggs like silkies lay.Thanks!

My silkieXaraucanas have laid eggs the colour of the green plastic easter eggs. Much prettier than the usual drab green that always look a bit muddy in colour from a typical cross with a brown egg layer (sorry to those who like olive coloured eggs--I don't care for that colour for anything).

If you breed back to a silkie you might eventually get silkies that lay green or blue green eggs
