yes, but you *must* have *pure* silver sussex, and *pure* light sussex as the F0 generation. If you then mate brother to sister from the F1 generation you will get 33% pure silver, 33% silver carrying wheaten, 22% colombian and 11% Silver wheaten.
The Silver carrying wheaten will look phenotypically like pure silver, but will throw odd coloured birds, if bred as it if was pure silver.
Colombia, obviously looks like the light sussex, and so could be discarded
The silver wheaten looks like pure silver at first glance, however is duckwing and not crowwing (light flight feathers, instead of black).
However, all of this depends on the quality of the F0 generation in the first place.
And however you look at it , they are not "split" for silver
And since we have no idea how pure the originals are ........
What a mess this could be.
