confused on color! lol pics of parents and chick!

[boykin2010]

i think that that white color will eventually turn into into a lighter blue or lavendar i think

 

[Sweet Violet]

my guess is it will be a very, very pale blue.

 

[geebs]

I am thinking blue... it is part of Birchen genetics I think... so blue does make sense. correct me if I am wrong folks... I am just starting my infancy understanding E black (birchen)

I don't know a lot about chicken genetics, but I'd assume it's just a recessive gene. Somewhere on one (or both) sides of the family there was a blue or a lavender! Whatever it is, it's super cute!

Haha ok! I know my black hen came from a "lavender" egg and the boy.... I'm not sure. He looks like a big mutt lol

let's all pray for daphne to be female!

 

[stumble_n_mumble]

would it make more sense if the hen was white? because i have another silkie hen whos all white.... could this be the actual chicks mom?!

I see someone is a True Blood fan.

How do you know Daphne is a female? I ordered 3 straight run silkies from Ideal and I would like to know how I will know if they are roos or pullets.

 

[stumble_n_mumble]

yes true blood <3 lol and lots and lots of experience but im not always right i just look from what i know lol

I have a question- im a new silkie owner....and my 4 month old partridge silkie has the same coat as your "daddy bill" its not all fluffy like I had hoped.....will it get more fluffy as it gets older?

 

[stumble_n_mumble]

i MIGHT but my silkies arent really like a POOF but there heads lol
