Pretty silkies

My favorite is the last one. Have you hatched splash from them before? I wonder because i thought you might have to have blue or splash in order to hatch splash. I have blue and splash and still have not gotten a splash chick

I cant wait to see what you get for chicks from the hatch. I have 2 silkies due to hatch in the next 48 hours and i have no idea what color they will be. Thanks for posting pics.

I never hatched splash before.. because I just got my white silkie but I was thinking the previous owner had white roos so I might get white chicks from her and I also thought that if my partrige roo and her breed I might get a splash colored chick considering the partrige roo has alot of blue in him.. Idk that what I thought..


Hopefully I will have some for you though :]

You are going to get Partridge from the Partridge pair, White is dominant so you will have White chicks from the White hen/split to Partridge for further breedings, You could get some very pretty mixes but you need the following for Splash chicks.
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
Blue X Black = 50% Blue, 50% Black
Black X Black = 100% Black

I am not looking for any, i was just trying to see how you were thinking you would get splash.
I have a mixed flock too, and i have a splash rooster and a blue hen and i still have not gotten a splash chick yet. I hope i'm just grabbing the wrong eggs, but i might find out soon. You should copy that formula down from Cottagegarden
