Yes, cross fertilization between breeds happens all the time. They are all still chickens and if the rooster can manage to properly mount the hen then breeding will take place. Small banty roosters often have an easy time of mounting the larger hens and the mating will produce offspring. It sometimes does not work the other way around. When the rooster is too big for the hen she will not allow the male to mount.

What does a silky hen look like?
Most Silkie hens and roosters are identical and sometimes the rooster Silkie doesn't crow through out his whole life. The only way you can tell them apart if the Silkie is mating with hens and has a spur then of course it is a rooster. And if a Silkie laid eggs or is sitting on eggs then she is a hen. Another way to tell them apart is if you have a hybrid Silkie that Silkie might get a big wattle and comb.
