white silky roo with english orp hens... can he even do it?

[Jenbirdee]

would a silky roo even be able to fertilize english orps ? and if so, what would the chicks be like?

Given the size difference and all the fluff it would be a challenge, but stranger matings have occurred. Chicks would be smooth feathered, five toed and probably sized somewhat smaller than the English Orpingtons. They would very likely be excellent broody mamas.
