I wonder what would happen if you crossed a showgirl with a serama if you would get a silkie-feathered serama w/a naked neck.
just thought I would put the idea out there and if anybody ever does it then I would love to see a picture
 
I have a showgirl cochin mix she is now 3m old soo cute and her feathers are soft and fluffy

I believe the gene for silkie feathering is recessive. So, with this cross, you would get smooth feathers like the serama, with a naked neck.

If you then bred these crosses, you would get both smooth (3/4) and silkie feathered (1/4) offspring.

So, it would take two generations at least to get to a silkie feathered naked necked serama like bird. To be mroe true to the serama, you'd need several more generations with back crosses.
