I have a few questions of my Roo, what color is he, and does he look breeder quality, or purebred? I bred him to my white silkie hen, I hatched 8 they’re about 10 Weeks old. Anyways about 3 of them seem to have a single comb, there’s one for sure that has it.

what color is he,
Looks to me like a blue or splash maybe?
does he look breeder quality, or purebred?
Definitely not. He has the wrong skin/comb/wattle color, his type doesn't quite look like it should for a silkie, and I think he may have a wing fault as well, unless he just happened to put his wing like that in the 2nd photo.
Plus, if he's throwing chicks with single combs it means either he or some bird in his family has been mixed at some point. Same goes for the hen, since single combs are recessive and need 2 genes to express, so both parents would have to be carrying it.
