hello, im stephen in morristown TN. have had white leghorns, game birds, easter eggers, and austrolorps years ago since moving to east TN, but now trying to rear a rosecomb egg that i saved from being destroyed at auction. finally bought an incubator, as needed one for while now for the leghorn eggs and ddnt have or let hen go broody, and reptiles that keep trying to make babies. looking to meet other foul fanatics (originally was going to try to get button quail for aviary of exotic bird rescues), in my town, and even ashville NC. area im wanting to move to in future. also curious if anyone has or knows if one could cross a silkie with easter egger type, to get the black pigment of silkie skin etc. and excellent forager and more hardy, and egg color if not black but even easter egger eggs like EE? could this be bred true, as ive heard how healthy and a delicacy silkies are, but how fragile and had to keep clean an healthy, so would like black pigment traits etc or whatever it is im thinking of, like them, but feathers and less maintainance like EE were (note i havent ever had or seen hardly a silkie, so dont know anything of them first hand, except what told by those that had them, and might like just one for fun or to try to cross with EE whether i would need a cockrel or pullet of one i have no idea how to cross to get desired result.
