Fortunately the black/lav splits that I will be breeding him to have extremely tight and neatly tucked wings. Its basically a breed and cull, breed and cull, breed and cull situation. Some chicks will get the color with his wing type, some chicks will get the color with the others wing types. I'll keep the best, and eventually replace him with a better typed bird. Its all in the breeding, culling, and strategy.

Sounds like a long process, but totally worth it!

I'm flattered... but I'm really just a somewhat good photographer. While I have nice birds, and am very grateful to have them, there are so many people who have been breeding WAY longer than me and have WAY nicer birds.
Deb Steinberg
Brenda Gambrill
George Mihalik
The HatTrick Girls
The Chickadee Farms Girls
Angie Pearson
The Werners
The list goes on and on. If you want to see some GREAT Silkies attend an ASBC national meet.

The lavender rooster I have on eggbid would help you increase type on your ideal stock three fold.... I also have some black cockerals carrying the lavender gene that I will probably be selling here in a week or so. I have three of them too many...

Never been into silkies, but one that color might persuade me.
Ooo very pretty bird!
