Mixed silkie bred back to silkie

[Ruby Rogue]

If my silkie eggs are fertilized by my mixed breed rooster who has no silkie genes, and one of those offspring is bred back to her, will the resulting chicks have the possibility of silkie feathering?

And, the hen has black skin, the rooster, red...what color skin are the chicks likely to have?

Offspring bred back to the silkie has a 50/50 chance at being silkie feathered.
No comment on skin color. There aren't genetically red skinned chickens.

Lol! Red skinned chicken...

Thank you.

Will the facial 'skin' be red, black or like, a mixture?

I would expect to see any of those on the 3/4 silkies.

Thanks for the response.

Her eggs are infertile anyways.
