I hope they do have copper thrown in. At almost a week old, they do have some tan on their throats and wing tips. Don't know if that is any indication that they might have some copper, but I hope it is.
Marans x silkie = Milkies
Goose is a exactly what I hope our babies will be like (because, of course, they are all girls. lol!) However, according to the genetics calculator ours will be either solid black or solid blue.
Thank you for the photos and for answering all my questions.
I hope I will remember to post some...
She is adorable! I have so many questions! I hope that is okay. Is she as small as her mother? Is she a good layer? Are her eggs silkie or marans sized? Does she go broody? If so, is she a good mama?
I recently hatched six tiny little chicks from eggs I bought. The dad is a BCM and the mom is a blue silkie. I am dying to see what these babies are going to look like all grown up.
Anyone want to share photos of the grown offspring of a BCM roo crossed with a silkie hen?
