I found a hidden clutch of eggs and decided to incubate them.
They are a cross with a silkie rooster and starlight hens.
All turned out with 5 toes and black skin.

I was just curious what color eggs I should expect from them, if anyone knows?
 
Since I raise/breed silkies, I know their eggs range from cream color to tan.

My guess is that approximately half the offspring would lay green or olive eggs, and approximately half would lay the tan/beige ones.
 
Spending a few hours outdoors while the weather is nice.
I'm hoping they're all hens. I can't keep any more roo's.
