So you are using Light Brahmas?
I wonder what colors the mixed chicks will be...

My Silkie roosters are Dominate white, & gold based.

Light Brahmas are Silver Columbian.

So half the offspring maybe silver columbian while the other half maybe split gold, silver columbian.

Columbian gene is dominate even with 1 copy.

Some offspring may have other color leakage due to the Silkie roosters being dominate white, & has small amounts of blue/black, & red color leakage.

However they turn out I bet the will be beautiful!

I'm not worried about color right now.

Just primarily the Silkie features: Silkied feathering, Walnut Comb, Black Skin, Five Toes, Dark Eyes, Crest, optional Beard, & Feathered feet.
Plus giant size.
