Where can I find Silkied varieties of rare, or uncommon breeds.

Nvm google proves me a idiot found listing of Silkie chickens bred to lay blue, green and olive eggs. I be dumb.

Phenotypically they look identical, but we don't know genotypically, and we won't find out until someone invents a genetic test for that kind of thing. The only genetic test for chickens is the fibro test. Maybe someone could make a new line of Silkied Ameraucanas, but with the silkie gene from the Cochins. Though it would take forever to get rid of the Cochin attributes

Phenotype is all that matters, at least for showing which is what people generally judge looks based on. There is no such thing as pedigrees or registration for individual chickens to prove they're purebred. If it looks just like a cochin, it's judged as a cochin, even if it's grandparent wasn't a cochin

And finally, where can I find Silkied Orpingtons.

I was wondering when you'd show up

It was an accident. I was bored at lunch.

 

[miss heny]

I missed this part and that is one variation I didn't know exist. Reaction is relatable

 

[miss heny]

I don't think it does, at least not anymore. I've seen someone with naked orps, never silkied

Yeah, I don't ever remember any major threads about them. At least those about silkie gene mutation not y'know breeding a orph to silkie and going from there.

Hey, they weren't mine. There's a thread on here about them, I think it was around the time I first joined

 

[miss heny]

I know I am with how long I have had this account. Took a hiatus and came back to a radically different byc
