Ok, I have a columbian silkie pair. Would I breed them together to get BETTER columbian markings? Or to a nice black? Which should be the roo and which should be the hen?

Edited to add a picture of the roo

I am interested in if anyone has info on this also....earlier in the thread there were some ideas. I believe on page 2 that say try to buffs. I have also heard greys, whites, and blacks! Also a lot of people are getting similar marked birds out of their lavender pens???

If you have a pair I would start breeding them together and keeping the best marked ones. Then maybe try the well marked girls back to the dad? That is what I am planning on doing when I get mine.
