Thank you msiler. Since I posted this I’ve found out that she is basically a silver pencilled, though the pencilling doesn’t show up because of the feather structure. In genetalk she is eb/eb Pg/Pg S/- :)

Thanks Any guesses of the genes? I have a white chick from them previous, so I know they both carry a recessive white gene. But that is as far as I’ve got :D

Thank you both. So FishMtFarm, you think #2 is white?

What colour (fenotype) and genotype do you think my new born chicks are? Father is black with red in his hackles, so I am guessing autosomal red? The red didn’t show until he was about a year. Mother colour? Babies: Black? White? Just out of incubator so not 100% fluff yet...

Oops, first emoji NOT intended but perhaps a Freudian slip :D

:confused:Ok bumping this thread instead of creating a new one. I am a newbie here, so maybe that is incorrect, in that case please let me know and I’ll start my own :) So my question is, what colour is my silkie hen and what would her genetics look like The standard of excellence about...

I am unsure how to count the days, don’t know if the day you put them in is day 0 or day 1, I count first day as 0, is that correct? I put them in the incubator Thursday 25/10 at 14:00 The first chick hatched on Thursday 15/11 at 19:20, so 21 days, 4 hours and 20 min later. (4 hours because of...

All is now said and done. The five last eggs never hatched. I did an eggtopsy. Barnevelder 1: head firmly stuck under her thigh Barnevelder 2: upsidedown, looked like it had tried to pip but of course no airpocket there Australorp: now this one was super strange, it’s brain was on the outside...

Thank you rjohns. I’ll hang in there then : )

Thank you :) Any thoughts about the unhatched ones? Is it time to give up on them?

Here is my gang so far I fell asleep at 1 in the morning and woke up to three more little ones at 4 :) So five Barnevelder and two Australorp. I still have 5 eggs in the incubator but none of them has even pipped. It is now day 22 and at least 13,5 hours since last hatch. Does this mean...

Thank you all so much for your warm welcome So far four chickens hatched, three Barnevelder and one Australorp. Three more eggs have pipped. Sooooooo exciting! :ya I will report the end result of course. Tell me, when you calculate hatch results, do you count all the eggs you set in the...

Hi all, I am a Swedish woman who currently live in portugal, who is brand new to chickens. I bought three silkies only four months ago from a very good breeder. A black cockerel, and two pullets, one blue(or maybe splash) and one white. The following day my neighbor who has chickens...
