Mom's not "new", she hatched out about 1 1/2 years ago, the off-spring of the roo I pictured and a white easter egger who looked very similar to her, just a little whiter. Her mother was also the daughter of that roo and a hen that was "normal" but with the coloring of the chick in question. As Daddy keeps breeding back to his offspring I'm seeing more & more white in the chicks, even this one has white flecks in her feathers.
As long as we can keep them safe the two siblings will be kept together so I'm sure we'll get a chance to see the next generation.
ETA - the sibling isn't exhibiting this silkie gene ... his picture is in a sex/breed thread titles "baby roo" ... as I'm not entirely sure he is a roo, just 99%.
