Porcelain Silkie Genetics

@nicalandia is your best bet for an answer.
Buff is used in place of wheaten in Silkies.
I would not personallly introduce paint if you are trying for Porcelain. The dominant white is very dominant. I understand it takes a few generations to get the Porcelain coloring correct, that’s about all I know about it. Good luck, it is a gorgeous color.

Maybe they'll pop in.

I would really like to get lavender out of it. No one has any! What about white? Or seeing how it's dominant, would I just get white? Thanks so much! It really is. One of my favorites.

From my paint rooster I get primarily black and paint chicks. I have also gotten a few blue chicks when crossed with my blue partridge hen. I expect in theory you could get lavender chicks with your rooster if he carries the lavender gene when crossed with porcelain. I am not sure, but you would likely have to hatch a lot of chicks to get a few lavender.

Hmm, yeah, I wondered about that. What about black? Probably not?

Black bred to?

Oh, porcelain.

I think you would just get a lot of black chicks out that.

 

[wolf-deer88]

Yeah, I think you're right. Darn. I'm might just have to settle with paint because I know he carries the lavender gene. We'll see.

Wait, could I get solid chicks from porcelain x porcelain?

Sorry, I do not know the answer to that question.
