silkie colors

[onecent]

i have 2 white silkies, (hen & roo) will i only get white silkies from them, or will they produce other colors? also, my white roo mated with my red frizzle cochin, what will i get there?

White to white, you should only get white.

It depends what your whites may be hiding. If the right genes are mixed, you could get other colors (ive seen partridges, blacks, buffs, and greys come out of pure white x white crosses), but for the most part you'll get only whites.

White silkie x red frizzle should get you all hard feathered chicks, half frizzled, half not and if you want silkie feathers you can mate a frizzle baby back to a silkie You'll get half frizzled and half silkie feathered with 1/4 frizzled silkie feathers or if you mate the babies together again you get 1/4 silkie feathers, all dark walnut combs and....i think they'll be white (I don't really understand the white gene) I know white covers up other colors-?

So are we saying white and black may be grey, black or white?
