i have silkies (one rooster) and anaucana hens if they mate what will the chicks look like any weblinks or photos would be great
Sorry, I don't really have a site to give you to look at photos. And haven ' t seen any pictures of crosses between English Standard Anaucana and Silkes. However, you can look up Silkie x Easter Egger, that is a relatively close cross.
Most silkie crosses look very similar in style, but vary in color. They are a great cross if you want a good broody hen, that isn't as stupid as a silkie, and more weather hardy.
what to expect.
Dominate Trait X Recessive Trait=

You may also not be getting anything because the-anaucana-does not exist. The Ameraucana, Araucana, and Ancona do.
Simply tap in "chicken hybrids" in your browser and there you will find a mine field of information.
