Hi - my hens have gone broody (white silkie and black bantam with iridescent feathers) and dad is the yellow cockerel in the picture.
- what will the silkie/ bantam cross chicks look like? What colours might they be? Will they look like silkies or have normal feathers?
- what colours could I get from the black hen/ roo?

Just wondering if I’ll be able to tell which chicks have come from which hen?

Thanks!

The chicks from the white Silkie will not have Silkie feathers bc Silkie feathers are recessive. They should however have 5 toes, crest, beard, black skin and feathered feet.

Your black hens chicks should be black. The chicks will have muffs/beard and possible crest. Your hen looks the be a black D’Uccles and your rooster looks to be a D’Uccles mix. If both are a mix of something you may get different colored chicks.
