Silkie coloring

[karint]

Hi I have a white silkie hen and a splash hen with a partridge silkie rooster does anyone know what type of colours I could get from those combinations. I don’t understand all the genetics online so I’m just looking for a list of color options. Thanks

Splash x partridge will give you all blue offspring with red/gold leakage. Since your white silkie is probably recessive white, you can't predict what is under it.

So would it be possible to get partridge then if the white is recessive?

Yeah, if the silkie is recessive white then the chicks will not be white phenotypically but will be heterozygous for recessive white.

It might reveal what the silkie has underneath the white if you breed it. Assuming it’s recessive white.

Splash to partridge would be pretty also.

Yes

Thanks everyone for your help. I’m excited for the possible color options but probably won’t hatch eggs till spring which is a long wait lol
