My snowies from Myshire were not 60% true. Their numbers differ depending on the variety. When I contacted them, Zack encouraged me to breed them together to get more in the next gen. I did a lot of research after hatching them, and basically breeding silver to silver is going to create 25% of the offspring being double silvers. Double silvers are solid white, often sickly if they do hatch, they’re blind, and many don’t even develop at all in the egg. The proper way to breed snowies is to cross snowies to pearls and that way about 50% would be snowie. With all patterns that are silver colors, you will want to cross silver to non silver to prevent the lethal whites.I read that might be an issue :/
Do you know how myshire farms manage to circumvent this problem?
They claim that their stock will breed 60% true, which means that they are selling the birds for breeding purposes too right?
