    Silkie Breeding - How did this happen?

    It's starting to make sense by your explanation. The white is recessive white c/c, that's why I need 2 white birds to make a white or a non-white bird with c/C makeup! If my white hen is 1/2 partridge, and the partridge baby is a rooster, then if I breed him back to the mama hen, I should be...

    Is this a Silkie hen or a rooster?
