Idk
With Silkies you don't have to worry about breakage

They attract mud

Here pictures for proof. I have nine of them. That will change once I choose a cockerel out of the few I have. I think I have three or four cockerels. Not mature enough for me to tell right now. It will be one of the two that are blue with red shoulders.

I don't believe that BB golden is the golden they are talking about here.
They are talking about two copies of the pumpkin gene

Pumpkin and golden pumpkin work like blue and splash.

Pumpkin and golden pumpkin work like vlue and splash.

This is correct.

I think most of the black dilutes work the way blue does.

Not really.

Plus, I don't think Pumpkin is a dilution gene as much as a weird pheomelanin extension. I don't understand it myself.

Thank you!

Actually, that's not the proper golden. I believe golden is the "sport" off of pumpkin
You actually want to use BB red to darken up BB golden. The two colors work hand in hand benefiting each other.

This is the golden they were referring to:

GC works a lot of pumpkins and goldens. I've learned a lot just by looking at his pairings.
