This is my 5 month old silkie cockerel and I have no idea what colour he is? He was mixed between my blue silkie cockerel and my white silkie hen. Thanks in advance!!!
He looks kind of like a calico silkie though I'm not sure. http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGP/Silkies/BRKSilkies.html and.
I no very little about silkies so I could be completely wrong, but I think that you have a blue silkie cockerel with gold leakage. Leakage is not unheard of, and he looks like many pics I've seen. Calico, as far as cochins go, is just overly white mille fleur. Again, this info could be totally off the mark, it's just what I thought.
Posting this on a silkie thread will help you more here's a few links: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/297632/silkie-thread/38950 https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/690632/silkie-breeding-genetics-showing/5860
Thanks! I know you said you knew little about silkies, but I heard that cockerels with gold leakage are not good for breeding, why is this?
