I'm planning on hatching eggs from my silkies, and I'm wondering what the outcome of the coloring would be. I have one splash rooster, and two hens (one buff and one splash). Anybody here have buffxsplash offspring and what do they look like. Also what would a splashxsplash look like? Would they create another splash? Would love to see pictures as well, I'm just so incredibly curious. Thanks!
 
The blue gene works as this:
b/b (no genes) = black
B/b = Blue
B/B = Splash

Two splashes would make another splash.

Splash with buff would create a chicken with B/b (Blue) plus the buff genetics.

So from splash and buff I would expect a chicken with blue feathering and buff feathering. You could probably look into buff splash mixes and see what other people got. Expect some blue feathers tho!
 
I have quite a few eggs from my buff girl, so it will be interesting to see if there are variations between chicks! Like maybe some will be more spotted with blue feathers, etc. I will post pics once they hatch. Hopefully they will have very sweet dispositions like both their parents :). For anyone who wants to see, here is a picture of the flock and their fluffy guardian :lol:
