Will my silkie roos breed with standard hens???

[mahsmaj]

I have three silkie roos and a bunch of standard hens, but no bantam hens... and no other roosters, *anymore* will my silkie roos ever do their thing with my standard hens???

 

[mahsmaj]

and if they do breed, what would their babies look like?

 

[mahsmaj]

Does anyone know?

Yesssss.....they sure will!

Chicken love knows no boundaries

My Silkie roo won't even fertilize his own silkie hens!

 

[gritsar]

Fertilizing? Probably not.
Trying like his life depends on it? Most definitely.

Why not though? Wat if we shaved the big fluff off the hirls butts? Then he can maybe reach his destiniation.. I would love it my Lav silkie mated my Bo hen

 

[marymac]

why wouldn't they fertlize? Mine breeds with all my standards and some of the eggs look fertile.
I can tell he connects with them sometime.

My silkie roo does mate with the standard hens...I had a few that turned out black...with feathers on the legs...just taller..etc..not too ugly LOL
