With not wanting baby chicks over the winter I have all my colors in one big coop. So off the top of my head I have: One white SG NN roo One white Silkie Roo One Splash Silkie Roo One Splash SG Roo One buff SG roo Two buff Silkie hens (one wasn't laying during this) 2 white showgirl hens 1 white silkie hen one black Silkie hen one partridge SG hen One splash Silkie hen One decided to hatch babies at Thanksgiving and I got 6 white bowtied Showgirls...? You'd think with that mottled mess of colors you'd get something else. Currently one white SIlkie and one White SG are hatching TOGETHER today. So far: 2 light yellow or grey, 1 black and 2 more that are too wet to tell. I have 2 Silkies, 2 Bowtied Showgirls and one Naked neck showgirl chick hatched. It's the craziest thing! Who would breed with whom to get a black chick? I only have ONE black hen. Although, the partridge's mom was black. Cell phone photos:
I am not sure who to breed to who. I have only white showgirl hens but splash, blue and black silkie roosters. I ended up with 3 blue showgirls. I is a hen, 1 died and 1 is too young to sex. Wish I knew what to breed to to get more blues and especially blacks. I am trying to find someone else with black showgirls to maybe purchase some, but no luck so far. I have my blue showgirl and a white one in the State Fair coming up in February.
