    Hey! New here, looking for Silkie "experts"

    I see white tips, and it looks very similar to some of the red splits I have here 🤷 Maybe not....

    Hey! New here, looking for Silkie "experts"

    Is it possible he is split to mottling?

    Please Show Me The Pictures Of Your Self Blue/Lavender Showgirl and Spilt to Lavender Silkies (Chick vs Fullgrown)! 🤍

    Do you have pictures of them as day olds? What were the satins bred to?

    Chocolate gene and sexlinkage - can someone explain what I just hatched?

    But honestly I never intended to hatch from these hens and was on the fence for the rooster. One of the hens went broody and I decided to go ahead and let her hatch them and was surprised at the colors I got so I hatched a few more myself.

    Chocolate gene and sexlinkage - can someone explain what I just hatched?

    I Didn't think it was both at first.... But now that I'm wondering if the hen is actually mauve and know that the breeder of the roosters did have dun birds and I know she doesn't keep concise breeding records from questions I've had previous to this- it is definitely possible that he is...

    Chocolate gene and sexlinkage - can someone explain what I just hatched?

    I had never heard of platinum. Now I will have to look that up🤣 I think my next question is - is there any way to actually figure out what genes were at play here? Meaning is the hen blue or mauve? Is the rooster split to chocolate or actually dun? Are there disqualifying genes that would...

    Chocolate gene and sexlinkage - can someone explain what I just hatched?

    Did anyone see parentage of the birds in this post? I'm reading it as they were asking for help on breeding the color 🤷

    Chocolate gene and sexlinkage - can someone explain what I just hatched?

    This is what I was thinking too..... then I started looking through Internet photos and now im not so sure. I know the hens came from a BBS pen and the rooster was a black and white mottled roo with leakage that I am assuming was due to partridge being in the make-up. But as we all know black...

    Chocolate gene and sexlinkage - can someone explain what I just hatched?

    They are blue with partridge underneath and have leakage due to that. Their father was black and white mottled. I didn't hatch them but saw the flock they did come from in person and none of the chicks were out of place according to parentage. This picture was taken in the dark. Also- they hatch...

    Mauve is Sex-Link chocolate with blue. But again they should only be females in that case, no males. But I have males

    Chocolate gene and sexlinkage - can someone explain what I just hatched?

    He looks awfully black but honestly that is the only plausible conclusion I'm able to come to at this time. Nothing else makes any sense at all. There is no way I get chocolate or mauve males from a black split to chocolate rooster. It's not possible unless we don't fully understand this gene 🧐...

    How did this happen?? English Orpington!!

    I don't think this is similar to lavender at all. The only reason you would hatch black chicks from a lavender pen is bc the breeding pen includes black birds that are usually split to lavender but not always. Sometimes they breed to pure blacks. This is to mitigate the feather shredder gene not...

    Chocolate gene and sexlinkage - can someone explain what I just hatched?

    So how did I end up with chocolate males without a chocolate hen? They are looking really male now.... I thought of the rooster was the only chocolate parent then only daughters would express chocolate bc they are a hemizygous expression while male must have two copies? Is there a form that is...

    Any Good Chick Coloration Genetics Resources?

    Is it possible that she is a blue partridge? I think I have a mauve or chocolate partridge chick here at the moment. She is still super young though so no adult pics
