Silkie x Porcelain D’uccle?

[sorenheart]

So I had a hen go broody and gave her two of my porcelain d’uccle’s eggs to hatch because I’ve always been curious about what a cross between a porcelain d’uccle hen and a black silkie roo would look like. Well, one of the chicks came out looking exactly like a regular black silkie, and the other looks like what I’d imagine the cross to look like. Is it possible that I may have actually put one of my black silkie hens’ eggs under her, unknowingly? Or did the genes of my black silkie roo just dominate my porcelain d’uccle’s? I’m a bit disappointed because I already have five black silkie hens and was anticipating getting two beautiful crosses, so I’m just wondering if it was an error on my part or genetics just play out like that sometimes.

That crossing could definitely produce black chicks. The lavender color of the porcelain d’uccle (as well as mottling, the white spots) are recessive.

Will it end up having any color at all, do you think? Here’s a picture of the other baby.

Gold leakage is definitely possible
