Giant Silkie Project.

We have embryo development, & they're looking great. Today is day 6. I looked at them yesterday, & 3 of them look like day 7 embryos, they're so big.

Curious to see how the chicks are gonna turn out. I have the feeling there might be some funky colors when they feather out.

The father is made up of Silver Columbian X Dominant White that hides Buff.

The mother is Dominant white, that hides other colors, partridge is one I know, & lavender is another. Lavender is recessive, so it's not gonna show in the first generation.

Should be interesting to see how the genetics play out

Yes it will be.

The day 7 embryos look like day 10 embryos, & the Day 6 embryo looks like a Day 10 embryo.

That’s good sized chicks forming. Wow

They're definitely larger then what they should be at this stage of development.

Day 10 today. Might take a picture of one of the Developing Embryos for you all to see, if my camera cooperates.

Here's one of the day 10 embryos.

This is from me back crossing the F1 Giant Silkie cross rooster to a couple LF Silkie hens.

The rooster is a Silkie/Brahma cross.

It happens, I was wondering where you were.
