Any guesses on the parents

[mypetsrchickens]

So I have this cute little baby that has chipmunk stripes. The options for the mom are a white silkie, a splash silkie, two red frizzle cochins, a silver sebright, a gold sebright, and a bantam buff brahma. The options for the dad would be a white cochin or a white silkie. As you can see from the picture it does have 5 toes and feathered legs but lacks black skin. So I'm wondering if anyone has any idea which hen and rooster might be this little ones parents.

I also have this little one. I'd be interested if anyone had any guesses on who it's parents might be. It also has 5 toes and feathered feet but again missing the black skin.

This is just a guess, but I think probably the silkie rooster over one of the silver sebright hen.

That's what I was thinking too based on the colors but I swear none of the eggs looked like sebright eggs. I know I didn't have any white eggs, which is what color a silver sebright is supposed to lay. My sebright does have white earlobes but she came from TSC so no telling if she's true to breed standards. The eggs were all on the larger size too and I thought sebright eggs were supposed to be pretty small but again, TSC so no telling. I guess I'll just have to wait and see how they feather out.
Does anyone know if it's true that the black skin gene is sex linked? I had someone on another thread tell me all the chicks with black skin should be female and the ones with pink skin would be male. I wasn't sure if that was true or not.

Id love to see pictures of them growing, very curious what those mixes will look like!

out of what you have in your flock, one of the parents is definitely a silkie. The black skin gene only gets passed on if the other parent also has black or slate coloured legs. I have silkie crosses with a gold laced polish who had slate legs and the chicks were melanistic, but the silkie crosses with other breeds with pink or yellow legs had 5 toes but pink or yellow legs.
