If I breed these two together, would they have pretty chicks?? Rooster silkie, hen bantam

if the bantam hen doesn’t carry a silkie gene, then all chicks will be regular feathered. Probably all will be black, although, recessive white silkies can be hiding other colors (like partridge or blue) so you could end up with a surprise color chick depending on what the black hen carries. All will most likely have dark skin, 5 toes, and crests.

This is what I got✨✨✨
 
Beautiful babies!!!! So the white silkie dad is definitely hiding some interesting color genes - partridge for sure. And he must only have one polydactyl gene since several babies only have 4 toes. Based on the mom’s parents, she doesn’t have the silkie gene, so they should all be satin feathered. I’d love to see update pics if you end up keeping them!
