I am crossbreeding three breeds to create a "breed" of my own. I'm breeding silkies' unhooked, fluffy feather trait into my crossbreed. Because silkies lay peewee (very small) eggs and don't lay often, I've bred leghorns to increase the egg size and production of eggs. The last trait I am breeding into my crossbreed is the easter egger's green colored eggs. I've been working on this crossbreed for a couple of years and this is the first year I hatched chicks with all three breeds.
