Messed up on this Boy's father. It's Scaredy not 007.

He's split for silkie feather gene. The father is Silkie, mother is Heritage Barred Rock.

Here's the boy.

Trying to think of a name for him. His barring is coming in better, & his shanks faded from green to slate, so he's got the white Shank gene like his father Scaredy. Scaredy is split for the recessive yellow Shank gene though.

007 is Green Shanked, so he'll only give me yellow/green shanked offspring when bred to Plymouth Rock.

He's looking fancy at 8 weeks.
