The real pros will be on this list though. The only other person I know that is very knowledgeable about Chicken genetics is @CanuckBock Tara can talk volumes on the subject.

All I know is whites can carry anything and genetics can get way over my head and FAST!!!

I put them in lockdown day 17 keep temps at 100 CALIBRATED TEMPS!!!!
you dont have to research them chicky, its one of our breeds we have had for sometime and one we have hatched over and over and over, with them you want to keep your humidity up about 45% and then let us see them average air cell marks day 7 and like I said with these new roosters, most of ours we trashed as they were infertile, sorry about that, we switched them back again, guess the new guys are not up to par, but I sent you the older gals and the bigger eggs so I am hoping they may still be fertile... fingers crossed!! we shall see!!!

If someone would give me a choice of a brand newly perfectly made coolerbator vs one of those expensive ones, guess which one I would take?

the coolerbators in a heartbeat, I stand by them.....

and some coolers even fit the autoturners in them, but there are some cool handmade auto turners if you do your research!

I just have to say that my current chickens don't know how good they'be got it. It's been pouring here and I'm out cleaning out their coop! They really are spoiled too. It was kinda funny though because while I was sweeping and shoveling, they were all standing out in the rain and watching me clean, waiting until they could come back in. I love them though, that's why they are taken care of so well

Does anyone know if I bread one of my black sillies with a white what color I would get

Black is dominant and could be covering all kinds of different color genes. There are a couple different ways to get white, could be dominant and covering other colors or recessive white and will be covered. Not sure which they use w silkies. The only way to really know what you will get is to is to bread ur sillies

. Silly smell check. Keep us posted!
