What you call greys is what I work with (eb/ebSilver Partridges) variations.

Ask Sigi what she thinks of the US grey standard.

Why you not tell me first handed ?

Basically she thinks it is crazy--entirely different genetic recipes for males and females.

Most of the time (if not always) I agree with Sigrid (she have a very excellent brain working).
I not know for US but in EU when you want to breed multiple laced colorations you need a male line and a female line.
The Pg pattern express only on females, the males are completely different. So you need to breed with "bad" colored males to become good colored females and visa versa.

A question Sonoran, which other exciting new colorations you intend you are working on in Silkies?
Did you see my Blue Silver Partridge and others I am working on ?

I've heard that some Silkies won't go down the ladder. Is this true?

 

[sager:)silkies]

All i can say is that mine only got up high if there's a ladder

Silkies dont roost like other breeds they would rather sleep in a pile on the floor.
You can train them to use ramps/ladders as some people have done, I believe.
