What is this silkie mix, mixed with?..

[ihavechickens2]

She looks to be mixed with something with penciling. she lays a egg every day, even through december.

Could be mixed with a silver penciled Wyandotte, judging from the comb (looks like it was mixed with a rose comb). Other than that I'm not sure. She's beautiful.

Ok thanks. I mixed her with my black silkie roo and got 4 chicks 3 are normal feathers and 1 is silkied. What would I be able to call the normal feathered ones. Silkie mix?

All 4 chicks would be considered silkie mixes.

Ok do they have to be mixed back to a silkie to have full silkie babies

You'll never get "full Silkie" babies out of them because they're now considered mutts, not PB Silkies... but if you breed them back to a Silkie you will definitely have more silkie-feathered offspring.
