He everyone
I have chicks hatching under broodies and my Bator this coming week. Breeding this batch was just for fun... I’m sooo curious as to what the colour outcomes will be. My silkies are all bearded. So excited for chicks! Thanks for any comments. 🐣

* Red roo
* Paint hen
* Black hen
* Splash hen
Any ideas as to what colours will be produced from these pairings? Here is a photo of my roo.

RedXpaint= 50 percent leaky black, 50 percent leaky paint
Redxblack= 100 percent leaky black
Redxsplash= 100 percent leaky blue
Fairly simple crosses. Have fun with your chicks!
 
So then to get another red bird would I need to breed my red roo to a red hen? No chance of a red chick outcome from these matches?
No chance out of these. You could possibly backcross, but it would be a lot easier just to get a red hen.
