You wouldn't be able to sell them as pure color, but you could do it if you wanted to.

My white roo is producing all sorts of "interesting" colors. So if you are looking for pure colors then nope - I wouldn't.

but would it mess up the "quality?"

Quality in terms that your silkie will not likely breed true again, then yes. Even if your white contributes something or a good color, you have to remember they carry the white gene. So let's say if you produce a black or blue chick. That chick still carries the white gene and can really mess things up later in a breeding pen.

If you're not breeding or selling anything and just raise them for personal pleasure/pets, then have fun.
