Break an egg - not necessarily.

With Silkies till it crows or lays an egg, we are not sure LOL

I was looking at some silkies today and was wondering not knowing the background parentage on any of them what would a trio consisting of a white hen, buff hen and partridge roo produce? What colors are dominant in silkie breeding? As far as you breeders out there do you see a preference in the color of the silkies you sell? In my area there are not many selling silkies and those for sale tend to be pricey. Thanks

You may not (likely not) get recognised varieties from those. Partridge X buff, definitely not. White could be anything underneath the white mask, so cannot predict--every white is different.

He looks like a VERY nice grey. However, you shoudl not be seeing gold. Do you have a photo that shows it better? And what is wrong with his 4th/5th toes?

Do they have headspots?

It sounds like he may be congested, with a drippy nose getting him wet. Definitely time for a trip to the vet, or at least the feed store for antibiotics.

Would a white roo with the same two hens be a better possibility of getting recognized varieties?

 

[Sonoran Silkies]

Best is to get a white roo, a buff roo and a partridge hen.
