Will my Silkie Roo try to breed with my full size hens?

[SiggAndChicks]

This may sound like a silly question, but I have one Silkie Rooster and 13 full size hens of varying breeds. This Silkie was supposed to be a hen, but he's definitely a he!
Will he try to breed with the other girls? Do I need to even worry about it?

Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

He will try and most likely will be successful at breeding the full sized hens. Why would you worry about it?

No worries, he will breed them.

Silky crosses generally make great broody hens. Extreme broody instinct from their silky blood coupled with the larger size and egg covering capacity of the full sized hens.

Not only will he try, he will have the time of his life doing so! And be quite successful at it.

Thanks. That was sort of my question. I didn't know if it was something I needed to worry about. Sounds like I don't. I guess my biggest problem will be trying to figure out who he's bred and who's eggs are who if I want to try and hatch some crosses. Not sure yet if I want to do that.
Thanks for the input

Silkie crosses are awesome. I really like them. Especially when they are bred with really good dual purpose birds - like Rocks...


Here is one of my Silkie x Barred Plymouth Rock girls. She is such a great mother, and even beat up a hawk trying to take her babies. Had it by the tail. She hatched 12 chicks.


Another Silkie X


Of course she has babies as well. Went broody at 22 weeks. They can fit many more eggs under them than regular silkies. She hatched 9.


Shared her brood with a full silkie though.

Once he has spurs you will notice that his favorite hens will be "beat up" a little one the back of the neck (from him holding on) and at the base of the tail (from spurs).

If you spend some time out there you will notice who he likes most.

Also one mating will last several days, which means several eggs!
