Thanks. I found this information on the internet

• Blue X Blue = 50% Blue, 25% Black, 25% Splash
  Blue X Black = 50% Blue, 50% Black
• Blue X Splash = 50% Blue, 50% Splash
• Black X Black = 100% Black
• Splash X Splash = 100% Splash
• Splash X Black = 100% Blue

This is a great [and very informational] website about breeding and genetics if anyone else is interested. Now I just have to hope that my boys aren't all splashes and my girls aren't all black

And from the way it's looking, ending up with 10 chickens, 5 of them being splash I think I did pretty well

is that for silkies as well ?

It's day 21 for us tomorrow too. I guess day 21 starts for us tonight. Ours are all regular sized (mixed) breeds. I haven't looked inside since about day 15, and they were looking good then.

question:: i have a hen that is broody,,well i also have had serama start hatching on me in the incubator which are very fragile and hard to raise so i was wondering if i could take her eggs and put the chicks under her and let her raise them and what would be a good time to do it if i could????


anyone please..

All I've ever heard is to do it at night while they are sleeping. Wish I knew more. My broody hens sat on shipped eggs and have done a fantastic job hatching and raising my chicks ~ 6 silkies and 3 mystery chicks. Good luck.
