What color Silkie ?

You're welcome.

I have a question. I was trying to read how you get crele and what happens when a crele breeds with other genetics. It appears since he’s a male anything coming from him will be crele? Is that correct? And what would come of him breeding with my black/blue/and white ladies?

Crele, is only Crele when bred to Crele. There's a few different Crele varieties, more so in English Orpingtons, & couple other breeds though.

Theres Crele, Red Crele, & Silver Crele.

Crele X Black would give black Barred offspring with gold/red leakage.

Crele X Blue would give both blue, & black Barred offspring with gold/red leakage.

For the white, that depends on whether they're dominant, or recessive white.

The Ask Anything to Nicalandia Thread is a good start.

I had a good genetics site, well, 2 that I've gone to for help, but they've expired.
