Going off this idea…
except you get to name your chick anything you want!
Feel free to wait a couple more days for me to get more pictures and figure out the sexes, or you can name yours now!

Name mine Cinder because it looks like it got sprinkled with them.

What silkies do you have? I can only see one? Is that it?

There are multiple birds for each breed, with the exception of a few. For example, I have 9 delaware hens, 6 cochin X EE, etc.

I have 2 white silkies right now.

Ah ok. I'm just confused because none of your roos are fully black.

Yeah… interesting to me too.
Maybe @MysteryChicken will jump in and see if she can help. Or maybe @Overo Mare @JacinLarkwell @cherrynberry or @LadiesAndJane?

Where's the question?

I *think* mama being a silkie makes all chicks blackskinned.

Silkie males paired with the right females can create black daughters and light sons, so....

More questions:

^
Do you think this is a Sebright/Sebright mix?

Could this be a Delaware (hen) X [Cochin X EE]? (ear muffs and beard)

 

[JacinLarkwell]

Pic of the comb?

The others, I don't know. I've never hatched out any sebright mixes and don't bother with delawares.
