    What does this teach me about the parents genes?

    I snapped this pic of its wings yesterday. But they all look the exact same as far as the shape of their wing feathers.

    What does this teach me about the parents genes?

    That was the exact one I've been wondering about. It just looks like a boy in the face. Idk how else to describe it 🤣 But out of them all, its also the most feral. I just started putting them outside for short periods in a little cage thing I have. And when I go to catch them to transfer them...

    What does this teach me about the parents genes?

    Another update! They are 19 days old now! (2 weeks and 5 days) They're starting to feather out and this black one is still blowing my mind because it's not showing any other colors. The light grey you see is just fluff and the feather follicle. When you look closer, it's really just black 😳 Any...

    What does this teach me about the parents genes?

    No. They hatched at a friend's house and we're brought here on day 2. So they've been here their whole life.

    What does this teach me about the parents genes?

    Its hard to see everyone good in one picture, but this was taken today! They were scared because my 4 year old was squealing. That's why they're huddled. Something I've noticed with these chicks, is that they are SO QUIET compared to any others I've had. They can/will chirp if they're separated...

    The picture I posted with the rooster is the most up to date picture I have of her, taken like 2 weeks ago. She is a year and 2 months old. She sure looks like a splash, but obviously her genes don't show she's true splash Mom at 4 weeks Mom at 6 weeks

    What does this teach me about the parents genes?

    The mother as a chick if this is helpful at all. (That is her adoptive mom, obviously not her biological) 🤣

    What does this teach me about the parents genes?

    Absolutely no possibility that there was a mixup. I only have 1 rooster and I had them separated into a different pen and it was only my SLW Rooster, 2 SLW pullets (not laying at the time) and my silkie. Even if somehow my SLW Pullets laid during that time, their eggs are darker tan. My silkies...

    Hello. Geneteics question here.

    Oh absolutely! I didn't *really* expect her to accept them. I just wanted to introduce them and see how it went. Weird things happen so I wanted to at least give it a try. Last year it worked for me randomly 🤣 However, my broody hen that I tried to introduce at first, has been sitting for about...

    Hello. Geneteics question here.

    I have absolutely no idea what I'm looking at. So, I truly appreciate all your input! It is so interesting to me. I think they're pretty cute too but I thought maybe I was biased 🤣 Thank you ❤️ I'm just so glad everyone seems healthy and happy. I attempted to get one of my broodies to adopt...

    Hello. Geneteics question here.

    @NatJ Here is a photo from farther away with the flash on. I feel like that makes them look a little different too.

    What does this teach me about the parents genes?

    Hello. (I know nothing about genetics) I recently paired my Silver Laced Wyandotte Rooster to my Splash Silkie Hen. I collected and incubated 6 of their eggs and all 6 hatched. I have attached pictures of each of the 6 chicks that this cross created as well as a photo of my roo and hen. I guess...

    Hello. Geneteics question here.

    @NatJ @Zenmonkey This is the variety I got from this pairing 😅 All 6 eggs hatched with no issues! The 6th egg to hatch was the one that ended up being solid black. Maybe a little grey in it. I know they'll look completely different as they get older, but does this teach you anything about their...

    Hello. Geneteics question here.

    Do you possibly have any pictures of her as a chick ?
