Lol....the chicken world is more indepth than dogs it seems! Yes I OFA & Pennhip testing so I get what you're saying lol. Thank you so much! I will definitely check them out!
Thank you so much! I hope she told be the truth. In dogs I know that it's impossible for a dilute to produce a black cause you can't reverse the dilution but I'm so very new to the chickens and have no idea how the color genes work! Thank you very much hun!
See in dogs (which I know is different....a dilute can't produce a black cause it's already dilute and you can't reverse the dilution) but I'm so new to chickens that have no clue if this rule applies to chicks or not. Thank you though....I hope you're right!
I'm new to the Silkie world and just recently acquired 3 1 week old Silkies. I was told that the hen was grey and the roo was partridge (red & white it looked to me but more white) yet my 3 chicks are black. Is this possible cause I had someone tell me it wasn't and now I'm worried I was taken...
I recently acquired this little sweet hen. The lady wasn't sure what she was but I know at least a bantam. She's like a buff/gold color and super small. She also has feathered feet! Does anyone know?
It's OK hun....this is all new to me & I'm confused on the color possibility as well. Ive bred American Bullies for years and know that a dilute can't produce black so I wondered if the same went for the Silkies. It's so much info out there that it gets crazy. Thank you for your help though...
