Anyone have a Silkie x Pekin?

Just saw a few for sale, they are described a "permanently look like chicks"
Anyone have any pictures of theirs?
Are they super duper broody considering that both the parent breeds are renowned for it?

I just received a cochin (pekin) x silkie from a BYCer, but it's a cockerel. He's 5 months old and is feathered normally.

Aww it still has the little poof on his head though!

I'm looking for a broody bird for my flock, I don't really like how poofy silkies are, and pekins I'd be worried about the heat with such thick feathering. The cross seems to give a good 'in-between" looking broody bird.

Heritage breeds are also very broody birds (buckeyes, dominiques, etc.) if you wanted to look into those.

I love your roo, gritstar!

My PR has gone broody for me! So looks like she'll be filling the place of 'broody girl" hehe

but still, any more pics? I love the look of this cross

One of my favorite hens is our little Silkie Pekin Cross. She's a great layer, five or six eggs a week, right through the winter.
She's always been friendly since she was a chick. She is not overly broody...like our orpington. When she shows signs of broodiness
I take extra care to not let any eggs accumulate in the nest box.

How cute! I own silkies and pekens but not cross. The pekins are friendly little things. I love the foot feathers

Here are a few of our Silkie Pekin Crosses when they were chicks. They're all grown up now and the Black one is Broody at the moment. Number 3 is a Boy

on the last photo of the four chicks the first one is a Lavander Araucana but the other three are Silkie Pekin Cosses
