    Breeding mystic onyx

    My question is this if I breed 2 mystic onyx will I get more mystic onyx or will I get silkies and jersey giants? I know they're technically not a breed but do they breed true or are they like sex links? Meaning I'd have to breed a silkie and jersey giant to get mystic onyx
