breeding question

[morgakl2]

Will a white silkie and a black silkie make a gray silkie or a splash silkie? Or will I just end up with some black and some white?

A lot depends on what White is covering up but if the silkie is ---
Dominate White you will get all White offspring
Receive White you will get all Black offspring

ah so the old punnett square. Fun! So what do breeders do to make splash and gray?

I can help on the Splash breeding-

Blue X Blue = 50% Blue, 25% Black, 25% Splash
Blue X Splash = 50% Blue, 50% Splash
Splash X Splash = 100% Splash
Splash X Black = 100% Blue
