I think that I am slowly discovering why people have separate pens for chickens of different breeds! ACK!! My chicks are hatching and while it really doesn't matter for anyone but me what the crosses are that they come from I find that I am slowly driving myself crazy trying to figure out who the mothers of these babies are. I only have one possible father… a white silkie, but 5 possible mothers… I'm hoping someone here has some insight for me, maybe it's too early….

I love crossing for you on breeds, and if dad is a silkie all of your pullets should be good moms...
red/buff looks like maybe #5
blue looks like maybe #3 or #2
black looks like maybe #3 or #2
yellow/tan/black looks like maybe #1 or #5
It is hard b/c silkie hide there colors sometimes so your roo. could be black or buff in his breeding...
you do know that just b/c #2 is frizzle her chicks may or may not be frizzle..I do love #2...
