I know this has probably been said, i had a page bookmark but can't find it for the life of me... What woukd you get if you breed a white to a blue or a white to a black?
We just lost our partridge showgirl which i am mad about, we were planning on rehoming our white showgirl roo cause hes a...
Arg if its a splash or a paint im gonna what to keep... From the list she gave me it didnt mention, but i guess anything is possile lol ( argh and ive already decided to the 1st chick to hatch ( the one with no foot feathering) cause shes a sweetheart and crys for me... My husbands really...
Thats what the 2 that i thought were buffs look like :)
Gonna try to take more pictures of the one i thought was white to see if i can get the little speckles to show up.
Thanks :) im trying to figure out the one i thought was white has a little taupe light blue brown speckles on its back... So im ruling out white.... But no clue :/
Okay this maybe a really dumb question but in still rather new at all the colors, is there a difference bewteen poreclian and isabella? Or are they one in the same....sorry for my stupidity :/
So at 3days old my chicks have started to change already... Looking at pictures tons of them the two i thought cold be buffs, i can say they are porcelian, look alot like the ones in this thread....

As far as the one that...
Peep... Didnt use a flash, felt it washed them out so i used natural light... Could the buffs be porcelian? The eggs were silkie/showgirl eggs all pure silkies kept in the pins... the colors that could possible hatch were listed ( black, blue, buff, white, porcelian, isbella, lavender...
EEK i found 2 silkie eggs one in the nest box and another in one of the chicken houses which can only mean that one of my silkies laid her 1st egg today... on her 5 month birthday... its such a shame that i don't know which one i'm gonna have to watch from a far tomorrow to see who goes inside...
so like to introduce my 1st hatch :) the fluffy butt gang (eggs from Angie @ flowsrus)
the little showgirls both bearded and bow tied... thinking black maybe dark blue (you silkie experts and guesses?)
my early bird.. only one with no foot feathering but besides that i may just keep if...
some of our little fluffy butts from our very 1st hatch....
so far 3 showgirls and 5 silkies out of 12 eggs that went into lock down...
originally had 14 but one was cracked and another never developed
and then i had 2 iffys that i kept cause i wasnt sure....
Got another hatch! Little silkie with a vaulted skull looks buff, but still very very wet... Eekk as nerve wrecking as hatching eggs is its soooo much fun.... My niece and my daughter were in aww watching them hatch. 8 more eggs to go.
Just had 1 i think is white maybe porcelian silkie and one black showgirl hatch! 3 out of 12 hatched so far. 2 pips! And movement in the others.:D pics as soon as they fluff up.
