To get 'big silkies'...

[MysteryChicken]

Tsc silkies are basically giant silkies because they sure aint bantams lol

Most aren't Bantams. They're LF X Bantam crosses, most of them.

Bantam vs. LF Silkie.

If any breed deserves to be Silkied(there are multiple breeds like Japanese) that breed is British Type Orpingtons

All of the ones I got this year have crests, except for one.

I like the chinese type, all are unique, more character then the bantam/show type.

They wouldn't look much different then a Silkied Cochin. Just won't have feathered feet, or yellow skin.
