Silkie cross x Silkie cross. What percentage of silkie type feathering?

[ElimAcres]

Hello,

I have some Silkie/OEGB mixes that I hatched recently and I am wondering if I breed those mixed chicks to each other what percentage of the resulting chicks would have silkie feathering?

What if I breed one of the mixes back to a silkie?

Thanks!

If they’re half silkie, about a fourth of their offspring should have silkied feathering. If you breed one of the silkie mixes to a purebred Silkie, a half of their offspring will be silkied.
