Good morning! I’m hoping someone can help me with Recessive White Genes. I hatched chicks from (what I thought was) recessive white Silkie Cock & my (what I thought was) recessive white Silkie Hen. At the same time I hatched chicks from my Silkie BBS pen. I ended up with Blue, Deep Blue, Splash, Dusty White & Partridge marked chicks. I’m almost positive that the Blue, Deep Blue & Splash chicks came from my BBS pen. I thought the 2 Partridge chicks came from my recessive white Hen & Cock. But I was told that my whites are not recessive white if they’re producing Partridge chicks. If R. White hides colors, can it not hide partridge? So far, my Splash Cock has only produced Blue, Deep Blue & Splash. So I wouldn’t think that it would be coming from him or my splash hen. I’m attaching pics of partridge marked chicks. Maybe they’re not Partridge but some black leakage? I’m confused…..
