What would happen if a Cinnamon queen roo bred with a silkie hen?

[JasperMoon]

is it possible would that kill the silkie hen?
we are going to get silkies after seeing that they aren't as small as we thought , and are the same size as our smaller chickens so we aren't worried about that, when we merged our two flocks there was minimal to no pecking with our smaller pullets and the adult chickens so what would they look like?

I couldn’t find anything on Google for what it would look like, but you can search this website and they have a link for sort of a genetics/color calculator. I have a lot of silkie crosses here at my place, but none with a cinnamon queen. If you want to see any pics let me know

I had silkies and bigger roosters before, but I do like a med sized rooster if I had a choice.My current rooster is LO and a blue cochin Bantam mix. I love the LO, but the roosters were so big!

My silkies sometimes hang out with my laying flock, and they're large enough to not be injured by the roosters.

Half of your chicks would be solid white, and the other half would probably be black, depending on some hidden genes.

Red sexlink roosters usually (ISAs do. I'm not sure about CQs) carry one copy of dominant white (I/i) so he'll pass one dominant white (I) to half of his offspring. Half of them will be white. The other half—well, they'll get (i) which doesn't really show.

The silkie probably carries (E/E) which is a solid pattern gene. All of the chicks should be solid-patterned, in that case, because it's dominant to the (E^Wh/E^Wh) that most sexlinks carry.

The "depending on some hidden genes bit" is because most white silkies are recessive white (c/c). That means that one copy of white (c) doesn't show, because it's recessive to (C) which allows other genes to express, and shows no color itself (All of the chicks will carry one copy of recessive white, and they won't show it. If you bred them back to the mother, half of their offspring would be solid, recessive white.) But two copies of recessive white (c/c) means that the chicken is white, no matter what other genes are in play, so we have no idea what other colors she carries.

EDT: Add none of your chicks would be silkied. Silkie feathers are recessive. Some of them would likely have black skin, though.

EDT2: No idea why, but when I bred a Wyandotte/EE to a silkie rooster, some of the chicks had five toes and crests and feathered legs, and some did not. Crests are controlled by more than one gene, so you'll likely get a little "floof" of feathers, as on a Cream Legbar. You're also likely to get light leg-feathering, for the same reason. Five toes is an incompletely dominant trait, so if you have good quality silkies, most of the chicks should have five toes as well.

wow thank you for the information <3
