Okay, it may work with Porcelain D'uccle too. I'll take a picture of the Porcelain D'uccle/Silkie cross today.

The lavender silkie crosses look interesting.

We can take this chat into a conversation so we don't take up, @Egg Snatcher's thread?

The Lemony color is in the hackles, saddles, & wing bar. His breast feathers, leg feathers, beard, & butt fluff have the white mottling. I have a bag of mottled feather Samples I collected from our mottled birds, but forgot to take it out of the truck yesterday. I'll grab it later for...

Interesting. He's actually S/s+, he's silver split to gold. It's hard to capture the lemony color on camera. He doesn't have a black bar, but a white one in the middle between the black area, & down.

The one thing that I find interesting is the white bar on the mottled feathers from Bigfoot. The Bar happens a second time in the down of the feather. I believe it's caused the same gene, but need to do some experimenting next year. I know you said the other coloration doesn't count because of...

I do have Regular partridge, & Blue Partridge silkie pullets too. So, skip the white birds. I can do that. I may post a thread for you to follow once I start breeding, & hatching next spring.

I have a Blue Exchequer Japanese bantam hen. I'm still going to do some experiments to see if I get the same results with other birds. Have any breed ideas I should cross either Squeakers, or Bigfoot too? Available breeds: Silkies Orpingtons (Includes Project Orpingtons) Sumatra pullet...

Phoenix is the name of the Silver Duckwing. So what about Bigfoot whose Squeakers son?Mother was a White Silkie hen.

Thanks. I'm also trying to help give a friend some ideas for their's.

No, not yet. I might post one later on though.

There's 5 Silkie hens in the same coop, that I'll be crossing too next year. Maybe I'll cross with a couple standard hens too.

This is Squeakers father, Phoenix a Silver Duckwing OEGB. The mother of Squeakers was a Mille Fleur D'uccle.

Mottling is supposed to just be a white tip, on the feather.Some mutations of the mottling gene, Exchequer have more white feathers, & some black feathers. I've searched for a mottling pattern that looks like the one I produced, but can't find any. Bigfoot is an example, He's the result of...

Yep, & very happy about it. Gonna breed him back to a couple silkies, & see if I can get some mottled silkies out of him. I'm calling his mottling type, pied, because the feathers he has are unique.

@Egg Snatcher I got updated pictures of Squeakers, & Bigfoot to help give you more ideas.

That's fine, if you want to try. I believe my birds carry a Dominant mottling gene. Not the recessive. Gonna test breed Squeakers to my silkie hens, to see if I can replicate BigFoot. Also gonna Breed Phoenix (OEGB) to the D'uccle hen again to see if I can get a Female version of Squeakers. I...

Here's Squeakers Son, Bigfoot. He's OEGB/Mille Fleur D'uccle X Silkie. I need to get updated pictures of him. Here's some samples of Bigfoot's feathers. They all follow this pattern.Notice the white fluff on the bottom of the feather, as you move up there's grey, in between the grey is white, &...

Squeakers is a handsome boy isn't he?His daughter, Jelly Bean is almost pure, just need to breed back a few more times. She's OEGB/Mille Fleur D'uccle X OEGB. She has a few feathers on her legs, but not enough to notice right away.
