Glad to meet you, Saira, and welcome to BYC. What an interesting project! You may like the discussions on chicken genetics here, here (color calculator link), and here (new silkie color discussion).
And here is an article about silkies with a link to a long running discussion on silkies.
Best wishes with your farm hunting and all your plans!
Welcome to the coop! I use the Forums and Articles tabs at the top of the page to do research. You can get lost for hours. It's nice to know you are minutes away from getting help with questions and emergencies!
