Giant Silkie Project.

[MysteryChicken]

Here's a Khaki Frizzle Satin, Showgirl, I found, & Screenshotted for reference of gradient in color.

One thing that still bugs me abit is someone said he's just dominant white with leakage, or whatever due to a dead chick of his I shared.
007, as a chick. This isn't Dominant White.

Camera failed to pick up alot of the blueish/Grey/lavender tone of the wet lighter fluff, making the chick look white.
Dead Chick, 007's baby. Mother is a Blue Face Hatch/Oriental cross.

Would love to introduce Khaki into the Giant Silkie Project. Just need to figure out the best route to do so, cuz I've got 007, & my Dun Partridge Malay Cockerel, & pullet I can use.

I will hatch a few eggs from Floof, & Ghost to see what they'd produce size wise with their offspring.

Thinking I would have to breed to black first, I've got two black Malay cockerels I can cross to Silkie hens.

One of my big Silkie hens is a paint, she's got some black splotches on her, so probably will cross Black Malay with her. Should get both black, & paints from that breeding.

They look solid!

I reckon that'll work. A silkied fibro Malay would look real funky.

It would. Though that's not the goal.

I need F1 Malay/Silkie for my next crossing.

Will also be aiming for another F1 Silkie/Brahma cross, for the part 2 crossing.

Would look something like this once I get them: Silkie/Malay X Silkie/Brahma.
These F2s will then be back crossed, then the F3s will be bred to my F2 Giant Silkie Rooster, Floof.

He hasn't figured out the breeding pen yet.
