Whites and BB Reds will eventually produce Red Pyle's after several generations.

Red Pyle are based on Wildtype(e+, for example Red Jungle Fowl) and dominant white(I/I), You will have some trouble with Silkies because they lack the wiltype e+ and dominant white is only found on the Paint Silkies, so in your case you will have to base your Red Pyle Silkies on a Partridge background and then introduce the dominant white from the paint lines

Thank you! I just purchased 2 partridge hens and was going to put them with my white rooster I got a couple of months ago. I don’t know if he is a dominant white or what lines he came from though. I’m new to this if you can’t tell!

White (non-paint) Silkies are usually recessive white which covers up everything. Your white cockerel could have just about any colour or pattern hiding under that. You could end up with some very interesting chicks.

Thank you! That’s what we are hoping for! My little girl and I just have them for fun! Can’t wait to see what we end up with!

Most of recessive White Silkies are Partridge underneath
