. Lol good luck!
Ok, so what is a black split? I am 100% sure that I will never get the genetics of color down....lol
Fair warning...I'm going to flood the thread with silkie pics...lol I brought them in today to wash off dirty feet and get the dirt and poo out of the foot feathers so we did individual photo shoots....lol They are still dusty/dirty from the dirt run, but I tried washing/bathing and didn't like it so....lol
Black split only means that it has one black parent and one paint parent. I don't think much is actually known about paint genetics. Do the extremely dirty, feathery feet drive you nuts too? I swear it gets so bad here! In the summer I set up a little shampoo pool outside and do them all one after the other (just the feet). In winter I do one or two here and there. It's just gets so gross! Anyway, I love the pics!! Shadow is an extremely handsome looking boy! In that second pic he's got a great "u" shape! He's gonna give you nice babies. I loved seeing them all!!
