Guest Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Aw cute. The silkie looks more like a gold partridge silkie and the x looks like it is crossed with a light susses I am most likely wrong. Lovely girls. So want your cochins Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellykelly Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 I thought that there was some light sussex in there too but who am I to argue with the lady that hatched her though?! Fanny's dad was a silver laced wyandotte and mum was a pure white silkie. She is mid moult at the moment so she might look a little different with shiny new feathers?

Guest Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Yeah probably. And she looks so much like a columbian pekin as well maybe a sussex cock got in hmm oh well she is stunning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallyChook Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 They're all lovely hens especially mrs wonky foot a totally unrelated question, but if you get the chance would you please post or pm me with how you get your images that size? I have been hosting on photobucket and setting their size on there as small, when i look at the album on photobucket they're all nearly now shrunken down to thumbnail size, but post the IMG code on here and they're too wide to fit the screen! I hate being so technologically clueless Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellykelly Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 She's a 'surprise surprise' as Cilla would say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellykelly Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Cally - I don't do anything. I use photobucket and simply copy and paste the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CallyChook Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 darn it.. it seems i fail at photobucket even without fiddling!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellykelly Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 Ok - I have just had hold of Fanny. She was flapping a lot but I managed to get a fairly decent look at her. She has slighty yellow skin, very yellow legs and only 4 toes. I know thats not very silkie-ish, but are these wyandotte characteristics? Any idea's?

Guest Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 I don't know but no silkie in there Maybe she is light sussex and pekin cross ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellykelly Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 There is feathering on the leg, so could be. She has a yellow beak too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Her face looks like my light sussex bantams and her body looks like my pekin's so maybe You should host a competitions GUESS THE BREED MIX. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jellykelly Posted August 1, 2010 Author Share Posted August 1, 2010 I'm googling silver laced wyandottes and the characteristics are the same. I just can't see where the silkie is! It must be in there. I can't argue with this lady - she's a back garden hobby hatcher. She knows exactly what eggs come from which chicken and who's done the 'business' with who. She's a cutie though - thats all that matters to me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Well maybe she has silkie but has different Genes or flawed genes. She is a cutie though would love her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 Lovely. Especially the chicken in a basket. They used to serve that in the pub down the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
