Hi everyone,

Hi everyone
Was wondering if you were to do a white crested black silkie project how would you do it? Would you breed the f1 x f1 or f1 x silkie?
I was thinking of breeding my black silkie female to a white crested black polish rooster to create f1 generation.
how does the blue egg gene work?
If a breed a female aracuana with a silkie boy will all the offspring carry the blue egg gene or only some? Will all the males carry the blue egg gene? and if i then breed all the cross babies together will the resulting babies all lay blue/ green egg?
Hi
My black silkie just hatched her latest batch of chicks and one of her chicks is bizarre looking. These are pure silkie chicks.
