Okay, so I am wanting to get into breeding silkies. I am trying to find color charts and such for breeding, but I haven't been able to find many. Does anyone know a few things about silkie color breeding? I currently only have 2 buff hens and 2 white silkie pullets; eventually I will buy some splash, blue, etc
I am looking for what color rooster I should get to give them a possibility of producing a variety of colors without having to have multiple roo.
I know
Blue X Blue = 50% Blue, 25% Black, 25% Splash
Blue X Black = 50% Blue, 50% Black
Blue X Splash = 50% Blue, 50% Splash
Black X Black = 100% Black
Splash X Splash = 100% Splash
Splash X Black = 100% Blue
But I don't know much else, like what happens if you breed a White X Blue or White X Splash? Or Buff X Blue or Buff X Splash?
