Yes, but my only Malay hen that was laying was killed by my dad's Turkey tom, recently. Now I gotta wait longer before continuing the project Giant Silkies. Got 2 hens I'm waiting on to start laying, but I may have to cross Malay rooster over Silkie hen, instead.So that means you have the Malay already. Very exciting !
Is that risky? I know your silkies are already bigger than standard. Actually do your brahma/silkies mature earlier? And are they heftier?Yes, but my only Malay hen that was laying was killed by my dad's Turkey tom, recently. Now I gotta wait longer before continuing the project Giant Silkies.

Odd thing is, he only targeted my Malay hens. No other breed has been killed. 2, Malay hens left after a hen, & a pullet got squished.Hey, kinda lost track of this thread for a bit!
I've heard that that happens pretty often with toms mixed with chickens. Sorry for your loss.
I don't know, if it has to do with size.Maybe it was a size thing? Aren't the Malays quite a bit bigger than most other breeds?
It's just weird.Ah, it was just a thought. Who knows? Either way, an unfortunate loss.
Anyway, how is everyone's weeks going otherwise? I spent most of this week building a nice, big pen for my silkied Cochins so that I can split them up for breeding, and I've got babies hatching today.
